ABSTRACT
Leukemia cutis, the specific infiltration of leukemia, can be seen in any leukemia, but, are especially common in the acute myelogenous leukemia M4 and M5 variants. It may clinically mimic many inflammatory dermatoses. We herein report a case of a 59-year-old man with acute monocytic leukemia who concurrently presented with various cutaneous manifestations that clinically resembled benign skin lesions such as rosacea, contact dermatitis, and milium. Histologic study of all the lesions revealed leukemia cutis of the monocytic type. We presented this case to illustrate how leukemia cutis can masquerade as clinically benign-appearing, cutaneous eruptions.
