An Unusual Association of Adult T-Cell Leukemia/Lymphoma With Hyalohyphomycosis

Abstract: Infection by human T-cell lymphotropic virus (HTLV-1) causes deregulation of the immune system, which makes the infected individuals more susceptible to infectious diseases. Immune deregulation is even more pronounced in HTLV-1 carriers with adult T-cell leukemia/lymphoma (ATLL), which results in frequent opportunistic infections. Hyalohyphomycosis is a rare subcutaneous mycosis which is more commonly associated with immunocompromised patients. We report a case of a HTLV-1-infected man with skin tumors, inguin… Show more

“…For instance, ATLL cases have been reported in the urban areas of North East Brazil, by and large in the Bahía state that presents the largest prevalence of HTLV-1 infection [326,327,333,335,336,[469][470][471]. Characteristics of these ATLL are that they displayed cutaneous involvement [323,324], or were associated with infective dermatitis (IDH) [336], hyalohyphomycosis [333], Strongyloides stercoralis [335] or Hodgkin-like features [332]. Remarkably, ATLL has also been described in 31 pediatric patients [472].…”
