Abstract:
Acute myeloid leukemia is a hematologic malignancy accompanied by specific skin involvement in only about 10 percent of reported cases. We present a case of acute myeloid leukemia in which a hemorrhagic disorder of the skin was the first and only clinical symptom of the disease before the patient died from cerebral hemorrhage.
