Summary
Sézary syndrome (SS) is a rare variant of T-cell lymphoma. It is characterised by: erythroderma, generalised lymphadenopathy, presence of Sézary cells in peripheral blood (more than 1000/mm3) and skin infiltrates. This disease is typically diagnosed in seniors over 55–60 years. Therefore patients with this malignant condition may be seen in clinical geriatric practice. As a rule the care of patient with SS has to be multidisciplinary especially with haematooncologic and dermatologic expertise. Despite the therapy, which is complex – and new treatment approaches are being researched – the prognosis is unfavourable. In this case we present 77 years old patient with Sezary syndrome.
