Multicolor fluorescence in situ hybridization (SKY) in mycosis fungoides and Sézary syndrome: Search for recurrent chromosome abnormalities

Abstract excerpt

Cutaneous T-cell lymphoma (CTCL) is a clonally derived lymphoproliferative disorder that preferentially involves the skin. The two major clinical expressions of CTCL, mycosis fungoides (MF) and Sézary syndrome (SS), have poorly understood pathogenesis. Chromosome abnormalities, mostly complex karyotypes, are seen in about 50% of patients with MF/SS, and there have only been a few instances of recurrent...
