A transient cutaneous relapse of AML M1 in hematological remission: a case report

: Leukemia cutis (LC) is described as cutaneous infiltration by neoplastic leukocytes into the epidermidis, dermis, or subcutis, resulting in clinically various skin lesions. When the infiltrate is characterized by neoplastic granulocytic precursors, LC is defined as granulocytic sarcoma. Multiple, erythematous, and infiltrated papules and nodules localized on the legs, arms, and trunk are the most common clinical presentation. Here we report a case of granulocytic sarcoma in a patient with a previous diagnosis of acute myeloid leukemia currently in hematological remission.
