[Eosinophilic infiltration in chronic myeloid leukemia].

Specific infiltrations in myelogenous leukemia are rare and occur mostly in the course of an acute blast crisis often representing the terminal phase of the disease. A 50 year-old female patient is described who developed specific cutaneous lesions during such a blast crisis. The infiltrates consisted to a major part of eosinophilic myelocytes although the peripheral blood smear showed only relatively few mature eosinophils.
