Abstract:
Leukemia cutis, skin lesions in leukemia, are clinically divided into specific and nonspecific types. Specific skin lesions demonstrate malignant cell infiltrate when the biopsy is done. We have encountered a typical case of specific skin lesions of leukemia cutis associated with acute lymphocytic leukemia in a 18-year-old male patient. There were multiple, pinhead to rice sized, skin colored to lemon yellow colored, discrete papules on the face, neck and trunk. A review of the literature is presented with a brief discussion of this case.
