Leukemia Cutis in a Patient with Acute Lymphocytic Leukemia

Abstract

Leukemia cutis, skin lesions in leukemia, are clinically divided into specific and nonspecific types. Specific skin lesions demonstrate malignant cell infiltrate when the biopsy is done. We have encountered a typical case of specific skin lesions of leukemia cutis associated with acute lymphocytic leukemia in a 18-year-old male patient. There were multiple, pinhead to rice sized, skin colored to lemon yellow colored, discrete papules on the face, neck and trunk. A review of the literature is presented with a brief discussion of this case.
