Area of Science:

  • Dermatology
  • Infectious Diseases
  • Oncology

Background:

  • Hairy cell leukemia (HCL) is a rare B-cell malignancy.
  • Immunosuppression is a common complication of HCL and its treatment.
  • Cutaneous infections can present atypically in immunocompromised individuals.

Observation:

  • A 36-year-old male patient with a history of treated hairy cell leukemia presented with a skin infection.
  • The causative agent was identified as Mycobacterium marinum.
  • The patient exhibited an atypical presentation of cutaneous mycobacteriosis.

Findings:

  • Mycobacterium marinum infections can manifest diversely in immunocompromised patients.
  • Cutaneous biopsies are essential for histopathological diagnosis.

Related Experiment Videos

  • Specific laboratory methods are required for accurate identification of the pathogen.

    • Implications:

    • Early recognition of atypical cutaneous mycobacteriosis is vital in immunocompromised patients.
    • Prompt diagnosis facilitates appropriate antimicrobial therapy.
    • This case highlights the importance of considering unusual infections in patients with hematologic malignancies.
