This case study highlights a rare presentation of acute monoblastic leukemia manifesting solely as skin lesions (leukemia cutis) for 18 months. It underscores the diagnostic challenges and importance of immunohistochemistry in such cases.

Area of Science:

  • Hematology
  • Dermatology
  • Oncology

Background:

  • Acute monoblastic leukemia is a rare subtype of acute myeloid leukemia.
  • Leukemia cutis refers to the infiltration of the skin by leukemic cells.
  • Aleukemic leukemia cutis presents without peripheral blood leukocytosis.

Observation:

  • A 39-year-old female presented with a prolonged 18-month history of skin symptoms.
  • Initial presentation mimicked other dermatological conditions, causing diagnostic delays.
  • The patient was diagnosed with acute monoblastic leukemia with exclusive leukemia cutis.

Findings:

  • Immunohistochemical markers were crucial for accurate diagnosis.
  • The skin lesions represented the primary manifestation of the leukemia.

  • Diagnostic and prognostic challenges associated with aleukemic leukemia cutis were observed.

    • Implications:

    • Highlights the need for considering hematological malignancies in unexplained dermatological presentations.
    • Emphasizes the diagnostic utility of immunohistochemistry in challenging leukemia cutis cases.
    • Informs diagnostic, prognostic, and therapeutic strategies for aleukemic leukemia cutis.
