Bullous adult T-cell lymphoma/leukemia and human T-cell lymphotropic virus-1 associated myelopathy in a 60-year-old man

Here we report a case of vesiculobullous adult T-cell lymphoma/leukemia (ATLL); to our knowledge the first such report of this presentation.

Description
Summary:Here we report a case of vesiculobullous adult T-cell lymphoma/leukemia (ATLL); to our knowledge the first such report of this presentation. We emphasize the difficulty in clinically distinguishing ATLL from cutaneous t-cell lymphoma. The case is further distinguished by the simultaneous presentation of human T-cell lymphotropic virus-1-related myelopathy in this patient, an unusual occurrence.
