Leukemia cutis represents infiltration of the skin by malignant leukocytes and typically presents as firm, red-brown papules and nodules. The bullous clinical subtype is considered a rare entity and can be a diagnostic challenge. This case describes a patient with bullous leukemia cutis mimicking vesiculobullous skin disease.

Necrobiotic xanthogranuloma as an unusual cause of refractive chronic bilateral leg ulceration.

Necrobiotic xanthogranuloma is a progressive histiocytic granulomatous disease with frequent extracutaneous involvement. We have documented an unusual case of necrobiotic xanthogranuloma in a 58-year-old man with a history of recalcitrant and chronic arm and leg ulcerations in the absence of characteristic periorbital involvement. Our patient demonstrates a therapeutic challenge and may display a new necrobiotic inflammatory disorder not previously characterized.
