Sézary syndrome (SS) is a form of cutaneous T-cell lymphoma (CTCL), demonstrating leukemic involvement of malignant T-cells. Known systemic sequelae of SS include hemophagocytic syndrome-induced anemia, normocytic anemia secondary to bone marrow infiltration, and pancytopenia. We report a patient with SS, initially demonstrating widespread morbilliform eruption, who presented with malignancy-related microangiopathic hemolytic anemia (MAHA). Our findings represent a novel presentation of SS that will inform the differential diagnosis and treatment of future SS patients presenting with anemia and thrombocytopenia.
