Ecthyma gangrenosum is an uncommon dermatological manifestation characterized by round, indurated ulcers with a central necrotic black eschar and surrounding erythema. This report describes the case of a 5-year-old girl, affected by acute lymphocytic leukemia, presenting with a black eschar on her right thigh. Such lesions should always be correctly identified to avoid potentially fatal bacteraemia. Furthermore, because of its similar clinical presentation, cutaneous anthrax must be ruled out.
坏疽性脓皮病是一种罕见的皮肤病表现，其特征为圆形、硬结性溃疡，中央有坏死性黑色焦痂及周围红斑。本报告描述了一名5岁患急性淋巴细胞白血病的女孩，其右大腿出现黑色焦痂的病例。此类病变必须始终正确识别，以避免潜在致命的菌血症。此外，由于其临床表现相似，必须排除皮肤炭疽。
