Abstract
A cat with cutaneous lymphosarcoma and leukemia, similar to Sezary syn drome in human beings, had initial clinical signs that included prurit us and exfoliative dermatosis, associated with weight loss and lymphad enopathy. Dermatopathologic findings and ultrastructural morphologic f eatures of the circulating cells and cellular infiltrate were consiste nt with Sezary cells. Cutaneous lymphosarcoma and leukemia should be c onsidered in cats with chronic pruritic exfoliative dermatoses.
