Cutaneous involvement is frequent in adult T-cell leukaemia/lymphoma (ATLL), a peripheral T-cell neoplasm caused by human T-cell lymphotropic virus type I (HTLV-I). Patients with ATLL manifest different types of skin lesions, including nodules, plaques, ulcers, erythroderma and purpura. It has been reported that this type of skin eruption is an independent prognostic factor for ATLL. We report here a rare case of a 62-year-old Japanese woman with smouldering-type ATLL, first manifested by lichen planus-like skin lesions on the lower leg. This case report highlights the multiplicity of skin manifestations in ATLL.
皮肤受累在成人 T 细胞白血病/淋巴瘤（ATLL）中很常见，ATLL 是一种由人类 T 细胞白血病病毒 I 型（HTLV-I）引起的外周 T 细胞肿瘤。ATLL 患者表现出不同类型的皮肤损伤，包括结节、斑块、溃疡、红皮病和紫癜。据报道，这种类型的皮疹是 ATLL 的一个独立预后因素。我们在此报告一例罕见的 62 岁日本女性亚急性型 ATLL，最初表现为小腿苔藓样皮肤损伤。本病例报告强调了 ATLL 皮肤表现的多样性。
