Summary
Sézary syndrome and mycosis fungoides, both malignant Non-Hodgkin lymphomas, although characterized as specific entities, show a close relationship. This is based on striking similarities not only with respect to morphological, cytophotometrical, cytogenetical and immunological findings, but also with respect to a typical common reaction pattern to photochemotherapy.
Zusammenfassung
Zwischen den beiden als maligne Non-Hodgkin-Tumoren klassifizierbaren, jedoch gut voneinander abzutrennenden Krankheitsbildern Sézary-Syndrom un Mykosis fungoides bestehen enge Beziehungen. Diese beruhen nicht nur auf morphologischen, cytophotometrischen, cytogenetischen und immunologischen Befunden, sondern darüber hinaus läßt sich ein gemeinsames charakteristisches Reaktionsmuster gegenüber photochemotherapeutischen Einwirkungen erkennen.
