Walaa Fikry Elbossaty

Lymphoma is a cancer of the white blood cells; the body has two main types of lymphocytes: B lymphocytes, or B-cells, and T lymphocytes. T-cell lymphoma is a disease in which T lymphocyte cells become cancerous. One of the most common forms of T-cell lymphoma is cutaneous, or skin, lymphoma, because it starts in the lymphocytes in the skin. Cutaneous lymphoma actually describes many different disorders with various signs and symptoms, outcomes and treatment considerations. Sézary Syndrome (SS) is characterized by erythroderma, generalized lymphadenopathy, and the presence of circulating atypical lymphocytes, which are difficult to identify by morphologic data.
