Leukemia cutis (LC) is a rare neoplastic infiltration of the skin or subcutaneous tissue by leukemic cells. Because it correlates with sites of additional extramedullary involvement, it typically portends a poor prognosis. Although most cases of LC present concurrently with bone marrow infiltration, skin findings may precede systemic involvement in some cases; thus, early detection by dermatologists is essential. We report a case of a 66-year-old man who was diagnosed with acute myeloid leukemia (AML) based on the cutaneous presentation of LC.
皮肤白血病（LC）是白血病细胞对皮肤或皮下组织的罕见肿瘤浸润。由于它与其他髓外受累部位相关，通常预示预后不良。虽然大多数LC病例与骨髓浸润同时出现，但在某些情况下皮肤表现可能先于全身受累；因此，皮肤科医生的早期检测至关重要。我们报告一例66岁男性患者，其基于LC的皮肤表现被诊断为急性髓系白血病（AML）。
