Abstract

We report a case of bilateral facial nerve palsy caused by adult T cell leukemia/lymphoma (ATLL). A 51-year-old female consulted our department because of right facial palsy. Steroid therapy was performed, and her right facial palsy was recovered. However, sixteen days after the onset of right facial palsy, left facial palsy developed. She was diagnosed as having ATLL based on blood examination. Chemotherapy was performed but the patient died two months later.
