[Progression of cutaneous T cell lymphoma in leukemia].

Transition of a (probably primary) cutaneous non-Hodgkin's lymphoma to T-stem cell leukaemia was observed in a case. Unusual clinical features, histological and laboratory data hampered the diagnosis-making of this rare disease. Using the ALL-BFM 90 HRG protocoll complete remission was achieved. Under the treatment varicella-zoster virus encephalitis took place.
