Sézary syndrome is rare kind of T-cell lymphoma that compromises the skin and other tissues and is responsible for 3% of all cutaneous lymphomas. The aim of this study was to report a case with a rapid tumor progression. A 46-year-old male patient was admitted on Dermatology service at the UFPE with skin lesions. The patient developed exfoliative erythroderma and palmoplantar hyperkeratosis. The blood count showed 1.1x109/L Sézary cells and the patient rapidly progressed with tumor lesions on the skin. Sézary syndrome remains with poor prognosis and short survival.Downloads
