Leukemia cutis is the term used for cutaneous manifestations of leukemia, which can have varied clinical presentations. A skin biopsy can help in diagnosing such condition and differentiating it from other skin diseases. We present a case where a 45 years old man presented with diffuse papulovesicular skin lesions mimicking dessiminated herpes. Further workup revealed patient having acute myeloid leukemia (AML-M2) and skin biopsy showed infiltration by myeloblasts. With chemotherapy patient went into remission and skin lesions healed.
皮肤白血病是用于描述白血病皮肤表现的术语,其临床表现可能多种多样。皮肤活检有助于诊断这种情况并将其与其他皮肤病相鉴别。我们报告一例45岁男性患者,其表现为弥漫性丘疹水疱性皮肤损害,类似播散性疱疹。进一步检查发现患者患有急性髓系白血病(AML-M2),皮肤活检显示有原始粒细胞浸润。经过化疗,患者病情缓解,皮肤损害愈合。
