Abstract:
A 66-year-old woman with CD8+ chronic lymphocytic leukaemia developed multiple indurated erythema or plaques. A skin biopsy specimen showed dense infiltration of leukaemia cells in the dermis and subcutaneous tissue. Most of the infiltrating cells were CD8 + cells. To our best knowledge, leukaemia cutis such as this case showing plaques with diffuse infiltration of CD8 + cells has not been reported previously.
