    Area of Science:

    • Hematology
    • Dermatology
    • Oncology

    Background:

    • Chronic myelogenous leukemia (CML) is a myeloproliferative neoplasm.
    • Blast crisis is an advanced phase of CML with poor prognosis.
    • Leukemia cutis refers to the infiltration of the skin by leukemic cells.

    Observation:

    • A patient in CML blast crisis developed a painful, tender, edematous, and purpuric skin lesion on the left lower extremity.
    • The clinical presentation mimicked stasis dermatitis.
    • The lesion appeared during the preterminal phase of the disease.

    Findings:

    • Dermatopathologic examination revealed leukemia cutis.
    • This confirms leukemic infiltration of the skin as the cause of the observed lesion.

    Implications:

    • Leukemia cutis can present with atypical clinical features, mimicking other dermatological conditions.
    • Early recognition and diagnosis of leukemia cutis are crucial for patient management in advanced CML.
    • This case highlights the importance of dermatopathology in diagnosing unusual skin manifestations of hematologic malignancies.
