TI  - Cutaneous T-cell lymphoma with HTLV-I infection: clinical overlap with adult 
      T-cell leukemia/lymphoma.
PG  - 447-9
AB  - Adult T-cell leukemia/lymphoma (ATLL) is a malignant proliferation of mature 
      helper T lymphocytes,(1) and is caused by human T-lymphotropic virus type I 
      (HTLV-I);(2) an HTLV-I infection endemic in the Caribbean, south-western Japan, 
      South America and Africa.(3,4) Seroepidemiological studies suggest that it is 
      also endemic in Brazil.(5) Although carriers of HTLV-I show polyclonal 
      integration of virus in T lymphocytes, only patients with ATLL of various 
      subtypes show monoclonal integration of HTLV-I in tumor cells.(6,7) Cutaneous 
      T-cell lymphomas (CTCL) are a group of primary cutaneous lymphoproliferative 
      diseases(8) with unknown etiology.(9) The two most common presentations of CTCL 
      are mycosis fungoides (MF) and Sezary syndrome (SS).(10-13) However, both CTCL 
      categories can easily resemble ATLL. Therefore, in HTLV-I endemic areas, 
      differentiation between ATLL and CTCL must be performed, as they have different 
      prognoses and treatment approaches.(14).
