ABSTRACT
This is a clinical study that attempts to determine the incidence and patterns of cutaneous lesions in 109 pediatric patients with leukemia. Non-specific lesions, namely, adverse reactions to chemotherapy, complications of immunosuppression, and hemorrhagic diathesis were seen in 88.7 per cent of those patients with acute lymphocytic leukemia and in 88.9 per cent of patients with acute non-lymphocytic leukemia. Leukemia cutis was seen in three patients with acute non-lymphocytic leukemia, and in one patient with congenital leukemia. It seems that although skin complications are a frequent event in the course of childhood leukemia, leukemic infiltration of the skin a is rare event
