Sarcoidal tissue reaction in Sézary syndrome

J Am Acad Dermatol. 2000 Aug;43(2 Pt 2):372-6. doi: 10.1067/mjd.2000.101593.

Abstract

Sézary syndrome (SS) is an erythrodermic and leukemic variant of cutaneous T-cell lymphoma (CTCL). Occasionally, the histology of CTCL exhibits evidence of a granulomatous infiltrate in the skin. A case of SS that showed epithelioid granulomas resembling sarcoidosis in the skin and lymph nodes is presented. The clinical course of this patient has been relatively indolent.
