Clinicopathologic correlations in leukemia cutis.
This clinicopathologic study involved 42 cases of leukemia cutis: 3 of acute lymphocytic leukemia (ALL), 16 of chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL), 12 of acute granulocytic leukemia (AGL), 3 of chronic granulocytic leukemia (CGL), 5 of acute monocytic leukemia (AML), and 3 of acute myelomonocytic leukemia (AMML). The clinical appearance of leukemia cutis included papules, macules, plaques, nodules, ecchymoses, palpable purpura, and ulcerative lesions, and these were seen in all types of leukemias. Gingival hypertrophy was seen only in AML or AMML, and erythroderma and bullous lesions of leukemic infiltration were observed only in CLL. Cutaneous leukemic lesions may be concomitant with or preceding the diagnosis of systemic leukemia. Therefore, skin biopsy may be helpful in detecting the leukemia and may facilitate the work-up. Leukemia cutis probably is a dissemination of systemic leukemia to the skin, and the demonstration of leukemia in skin is associated with a very poor prognosis.
