Abstract:
The isotopic response defined by Wolf et al. describes the occurrence of a new skin disorder at the site of another, unrelated and already healed skin disease. In most of the reported cases, the first diseases were herpes zoster. We report a case of leukemia cutis developed on the exact same site of previous invasive cutaneous candidiasis, regarded as Wolfs isotopic response.
