Abstract

Sézary syndrome (SS) is a rare cutaneous T-cell lymphoma associated with increased risks of opportunistic and atypical infections. This report presents two patients with SS and concurrent non-tuberculosis mycobacterial cutaneous infections. Although rare, difficult to diagnose and challenging to treat, these cases highlight the importance of considering atypical infectious causes in patients with SS.
