โœฆ Synopsis

A 74-year-old Japanese man presented with systemic lymphadenopathy, hepatosplenomegaly, and erythroderma in December 1991. A characteristic pattern of anti-EBV antibodies was suggestive of latent EBV infection. A skin tumor biopsied in April 1993 contained biclonal EBV genomes diffusely in the infiltrate of polyclonal T cells and monoclonal B cells. The clinical course was rather mild in contrast to that of classical EBV-associated disorders. Our case was considered a rare indolent type of EBV-associated T-cell-rich Bcell lymphoma of the skin.
