The present report describes a case of Sezary syndrome in a canine with lymphadenomegaly, generalized erithroderma, intense pruritus and disseminated cutaneous nodules and plaques. Biopsy samples were taken from cutaneous nodules and plaques and were diagnosed epitheliotropic T cell cutaneous lymphoma by histology and immunohistochemical stain. Bone marrow cytology confirms leukemia. Diagnosis of Sezary syndrome was achieved through clinical, hematological, citopathological, histopathological and immunohistochemical findings. The patient was treated with Madison-Wisconsin chemotherapy protocol, but died after two mouths of treatment.
