Sezary syndrome manifesting as posttransplant lymphoproliferative disorder

Posttransplant lymphoproliferative disorders (PTLDs) of T-cell orgin are rare biologically heterogeneous diseases of mature lymphoid cells manifesting in immunosuppressed patients. Only a few cases of mycosis fungoides diagnosed post allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplant (alloHSCT) have been desc...
