    Summary

    Sézary's syndrome, a T-lymphocyte cancer, involves malignant Sézary cells. This report documents these distinctive cells in ascitic fluid for the first time, indicating advanced disease.

    Area of Science:

    • Oncology
    • Dermatology
    • Hematology

    Background:

    • Sézary's syndrome is a rare cutaneous T-cell lymphoma.
    • It is characterized by skin lesions and malignant T-lymphocytes in the blood.

    Observation:

    • Malignant Sézary cells, with characteristic convoluted or cerebriform nuclei, were identified in the ascitic fluid of a patient.
    • This represents the first documented instance of these cells in a body cavity fluid.

    Findings:

    • The presence of Sézary cells in ascitic fluid signifies disseminated Sézary's syndrome.
    • Morphological characteristics of these malignant lymphocytes are consistent with previous descriptions.

    Implications:

    • Detection of Sézary cells in ascitic fluid can aid in staging and treatment decisions for Sézary's syndrome.
    • This finding expands the understanding of Sézary cell distribution in advanced disease.
