We present the case of a 54-year-old woman who had calcinosis cutis related to sclerodermatous chronic graft versus host disease. Graft versus host disease had developed following stem cell transplantation for acute myelogenous leukemia 14 years earlier, but was shown by skin biopsy to have resolved by the time of presentation. Radiographs showed extensive cutaneous calcifications in the lower ...

Leukemia cutis is a rare disorder. Although its prognostic usefulness is known—since it is frequently associated with a poorer prognosis for the underlying disease1—the mechanism that leads it to develop in a specific site is unknown. We describe a case of leukemia cutis which developed at the site of injection of a tetanus vaccine booster. The male patient, aged 64 years, was an exsmoker with ...

Background : Acute myelogenous leukemia is a cancer that affects myeloid cells. Several complications occur due to acute myelogenous leukemia of which is granulocytic sarcoma. This case report discusses the analysis of skin abnormalities in an acute myelogenous leukemia patient. Case description : Skin examination and fine needle aspiration of the nodules in comparison with previous bone marrow...

B-cell chronic lymphocytic leukemia (B-CLL) is a low-grade lymphoproliferative disease. Cutaneous involvement of B-CLL is limited and, in most cases, it represents non-specific manifestations related to an impaired immune system. Leukemic skin infiltrates (leukemia cutis) occur in 4-20% of patients. Herein we report the case of a 65-year-old woman with B-CLL presenting with papular, nodular, an...

We herein presented a 50-year-old female of myelodysplastic syndrome sub-typing refractory anemia with excess blasts. She had received conservative and immunosuppressive therapies, but not controlled well. One year later, multiple asymptomatic, erythematous papules, plaques and nodules developed over trunk and four limbs. The histopathological and immunohistochemical studies showed atypical mon...

Acute myeloid leukemia (AML) is a clonal expansion of myeloid blasts in peripheral blood, bone marrow, or other tissues. Cutaneous manifestations of leukemia are either specific or nonspecific. Specific lesions result from direct infiltration of the skin by leukemic cells. We present a case of myeloid leukemia cutis manifested by erythematous asymptomatic nodules and plaques distributed on the ...
