Skin lesions are common in the patients with chronic lymphoid leukaemia (CLL); however, leukaemia cutis is a cutaneous manifestation secondary to any form of leukaemia and generally an uncommon phenomenon. They typically present on the face and neck as well as exposed areas. Our case looks at a 78-year-old gentleman with known CLL who presented with an asymptomatic raised lesion in his inner prepuce. The lesion was excised and his immunohistology staining confirms expression of CD5, CD20 and CD23 that is consistent with cutaneous manifestation of CLL. This case highlights the importance of taking leukaemia cutis into consideration in patients with known CLL with unusual features.
皮肤病变在慢性淋巴细胞白血病(CLL)患者中很常见;然而,白血病性皮肤浸润是继发于任何形式白血病的皮肤表现,通常是一种罕见现象。它们通常出现在面部、颈部以及暴露部位。我们的病例是一位78岁的已知患有CLL的男性,其阴茎内包皮出现了一个无症状的隆起病变。该病变被切除,免疫组织化学染色证实其表达CD5、CD20和CD23,这与CLL的皮肤表现一致。该病例凸显了在患有已知CLL且有异常特征的患者中考虑白血病性皮肤浸润的重要性。
