Leukemia cutis (LC) is a rare cutaneous manifestation of leukemia. Clinical presentation of the disease differs among patients depending on types. LC can precede, follow, occur simultaneously with, or present in the absence of the systemic leukemia. Leukemic involvement of the skin may appear as initial manifestation of recurrence or dissemination of systemic disease. Here we report a case of a 32-year-old male patient known to have acute myeloid leukemia with multiple cutaneous lesions diagnosed as LC. J Enam Med Col 2019; 9(2): 133-135

Leukemia cutis characteristically demonstrates the infiltration of the skin by neoplastic leukocytes [1]. In clinical practice, the most common types seen are chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) and acute myeloid leukemia (AML) often in patients who have a prior diagnosis of systemic leukemia [2]. However, cutaneous lesions may present as the primary manifestation of chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) in rare cases. It is generally synonymous of advanced disease and must encourage the search of other extramedullary sites involvement [3,4].
