Abstract
|
|
|
|
Leukemia cutis, the specific infiltration of leukemic cells, can be seen in any leukemia, but are especially common in the acute myelogenous leukemia M4 and M5 variants. We herein report a case of a 68-year-old woman with acute monocytic leukemia who presented with generalized, grouped nodules over the whole body, including the eyelids and scalp, and were clinically suspected to be metastatic skin cancer or cutaneous lymphoma. Histologic study of the lesions revealed leukemia cutis of the monocytic type. We present this case to illustrate how leukemia cutis can clinically masquerade as other dermatoses.
