Leukemia cutis, or infiltration of leukemic cells into the skin, occurs rarely in B-cell acute lymphocytic leukemia (ALL). Herein, we have described a rare, precocious presentation of B-cell ALL presenting as indurated facial plaques in a 69-year-old man. Biopsy of the facial plaques revealed precursor B-cell leukemia/lymphoma in the skin and prompted urgent hematologic-oncologic evaluation. Bone marrow biopsy yielded a final diagnosis of B-cell ALL. The patient underwent induction therapy, and at the last available follow-up, a matched unrelated donor transplant was planned.
皮肤白血病,即白血病细胞浸润皮肤,在B细胞急性淋巴细胞白血病(ALL)中很少见。在此,我们描述了一名69岁男性罕见的、早熟的B细胞ALL表现为面部硬结性斑块。面部斑块活检显示皮肤中有前体B细胞白血病/淋巴瘤,并促使进行紧急血液肿瘤学评估。骨髓活检最终诊断为B细胞ALL。患者接受了诱导治疗,在最后一次随访时,计划进行匹配的无关供体移植。
