We report a patient who had non-epidermotropic T-cell infiltrates of the skin for 10 years prior to the development of a HTLV-1 associated disseminated T-cell lymphoma. The presentation and initial course of the lymphoma were unusual and we believe this is the first report of such an association. We therefore feel that patients of Caribbean origin with non-Hodgkin's lymphoma should be tested for HTLV-1 so that appropriate chemotherapy can be instituted at the outset in this poor prognosis group.
我们报告了一名患者，其在发展为HTLV-1相关播散性T细胞淋巴瘤之前，皮肤存在非亲表皮性T细胞浸润已有10年。该淋巴瘤的表现和初始病程不同寻常，我们认为这是此类关联的首例报告。因此，我们觉得对患有非霍奇金淋巴瘤的加勒比裔患者应进行HTLV-1检测，以便在这个预后较差的群体中一开始就能制定合适的化疗方案。
