Acute monocytic leukaemia in a HIV-seropositive man.
Individuals infected with the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) have been reported to develop a number of malignant neoplasms. We recently treated an HIV patient who had acute monocytic leukaemia which was first evident in the skin. To our knowledge, this is the first report of a case of acute monocytic leukaemia occurring in a HIV-infected person.
