Leukemia cutis is the cutaneous involvement of leukemic neoplastic cells. It is an uncommon feature of systemic leukemia, and is associated with a poor prognosis. A 20-year-old man presented with a solitary, 2 cm dome- shaped, firm, erythematous nodule on the right medial malleolus that was present for 3 months. The patient had a history of venous catheter insertion at the right medial malleolus area 3 months previously. The history was significant for acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) for 4 years; an allogenic bone marrow transplantation was performed 3 years earlier. The histologc examination of the lesion revealed diffuse infiltration of leukemic cells in the dermis and subcutis. Herein we report a case of leukemia cutis at the site of a prior catheter insertion in a patient with ALL
