Abstract

We experienced a case of Leukemia Cutis in 14 year old female who had acute myelocytic Leukemia. She had erythematous macules on the buttock and extremities. Diagnosis was made by clinical, peripheral blood, bone marrow examination and skin biopsy. The skin biopsy finding showed malignant cell infiltrations. The skin lesions were improved by antileukemic chemotherapy. The relevant literature was reviewed.
