Abstract:
Aleukemic leukemia cutis is a rare condition characterized by the invasion of the skin by leukemic cells before their appearance in the peripheral blood. We report here a case, who had presented spontaneous remission of acute leukemia and 3 weeks later, have been relapsed in only the skin lesion without hematologic abnormalities. Through histopathological studies of skin lesion, the diagnosis of aleukemic leukemia cutis was made.
