	Cutaneous T-cell lymphoma
		Stage IV Mycosis fungoides and the Sezary syndrome are neoplasias of malignant T-lymphocytes that usually possess the helper/inducer cell surface phenotype.
		The prognosis of CTCL is based on the extent of disease at presentation (stage).[3] The presence of lymphadenopathy and involvement of peripheral blood and viscera increase in likelihood with worsening cutaneous involvement and define poor prognostic groups.
		Cytologic transformation from a low-grade to a high-grade lymphoma sometimes occurs during the course of these diseases and is associated with a poor prognosis.[6-8] A common cause of death during the tumor phase is sepsis from Pseudomonas aeruginosa or Staphylococcus aureus due to chronic skin infection with staph species and subsequent systemic infections.[5]
