Abstract: | Here, we describe a 48-year-old woman infected by the human T-cell lymphotropic virus type 1 (HTLV-1) with spondyloarthritis, uveitis, bilateral episcleritis and neurogenic bladder. She had a history of a probable infective dermatitis associated with HTLV-1 (IDH) in childhood. After the use of adalimumab, she developed lymphocytosis and a cutaneous lymphoma associated with IDH. She had the diagnoses of IDH and of chronic adult T-cell leukemia/lymphoma, supported by the demonstration of proviral integration in the cutaneous lesion. |
