Abstract:
A 13 years old girl came to our department with complaints of multiple ulcerating and non-ulcerating nodules on her back and buttocks since 1 month prior to visit. Skin biopsy specimen showed diffuse monomorphous infiltration of leukemic cells in the dermis and subcutis. Bone marrow biopsy specimen showed changes of erythroleukemia. Treatment was initiated with combined chemotherapy which was a combination of cytosine arabinoside, adriamyein and 6 thioguanine. When combined chemotherapy was finished, she was in complete remission state and the nodules cured after 1 month of combined chemotherapy.
