Summary
Specific skin infiltrates during acute myeloid leukemia blast crisis are rare. This case highlights cutaneous lesions in a patient with eosinophilic myelocytes during the terminal phase of myelogenous leukemia.
Area of Science:
- Hematology
- Oncology
- Dermatology
Context:
- Specific cutaneous infiltrations in myelogenous leukemia are uncommon.
- These lesions typically manifest during the acute blast crisis phase, often indicating a terminal stage of the disease.
Purpose:
- To describe a rare case of specific cutaneous infiltrations in a patient with myelogenous leukemia during blast crisis.
Summary:
- A 50-year-old female patient presented with specific cutaneous lesions during an acute blast crisis of myelogenous leukemia.
- Histopathological examination of the infiltrates revealed a predominance of eosinophilic myelocytes, despite a peripheral blood smear showing only a few mature eosinophils.
Impact:
- This case contributes to the understanding of rare clinical presentations of myelogenous leukemia.
- It underscores the importance of considering specific infiltrations in the differential diagnosis of cutaneous lesions during advanced hematological malignancies.
