'Aleukaemic leukaemia cutis' or acute leukaemia confined to the skin is extremely rare, although skin involvement with underlying leukaemia is well recognized, and is associated with a poor prognosis. We report a case of isolated acute myeloid leukaemia (AML) in the skin. A literature review shows this to be commonly misdiagnosed. Its recognition is important, because early diagnosis should lead to more appropriate chemotherapy, and a better prognosis. These patients probably require therapy directed specifically to the skin, as well as to other extramedullary sites, such as the central nervous system, to prevent early relapse.
“无白血病性白血病性皮肤病变”或局限于皮肤的急性白血病极为罕见,尽管白血病累及皮肤伴发潜在白血病已广为人知,且与预后不良相关。我们报告一例皮肤孤立性急性髓系白血病(AML)病例。文献综述显示该病常被误诊。认识到这一点很重要,因为早期诊断应能带来更合适的化疗方案,并改善预后。这些患者可能需要针对皮肤以及其他髓外部位(如中枢神经系统)的特异性治疗,以防止早期复发。
