Description

<p>Leukemia cutis is an extramedullary infiltration of granulocytic precursor cells in the skin. It usually presents as various types of eruption in the course of acute myelogenous leukemia ; skin lesions rarely develop in hematologic remission of acute myelogenous leukemia. In such cases, aleukemic leukemia cutis can be a preceding sign of systemic leukemia or the first sign of hematologic relapse of leukemia. We report an unusual case of leukemia cutis that developed in a patient with hematological remission of acute myelogenous leukemia. It is noteworthy to know that leukemia cutis could develop even if a patient is in the aleukemic state following remission.[Skin Cancer (Japan) 2018 ; 33 : 158－162]</p>
