    Skin infiltration in acute leukaemia is rare. This study details four cases, noting that while chemotherapy can induce remission, the long-term outlook for patients with leukaemia skin involvement remains poor.

    Area of Science:

    • Hematology
    • Oncology
    • Dermatology

    Background:

    • Leukemia is a cancer of blood-forming tissues.
    • Skin infiltration by leukemia is an uncommon manifestation.
    • Acute leukemia encompasses aggressive forms of blood cancer.

    Observation:

    • Four cases of acute leukemia with skin infiltration were analyzed.
    • Skin lesions presented at diagnosis in two patients.
    • In two patients, skin infiltration emerged during leukemia treatment.

    Findings:

    • Leukemic skin lesions exhibited diverse presentations, from maculopapular rashes to tumors.
    • Complete remission was achievable through chemotherapy.
    • Despite remission, long-term prognosis for these patients was unfavorable.

    Implications:

    • Highlights the importance of recognizing cutaneous manifestations in acute leukemia.
    • Suggests that skin infiltration may indicate a poorer prognosis.
    • Emphasizes the need for further research into managing leukemia with skin involvement.
