title: Acute monocytic leukemia: prevalent cutaneous lesions. Two cases.
abstract: The authors report two cases of acute myeloid leukemia with prevalent cutaneous lesions. The positivity of granulo-monocytic antibodies and the exclusive cutaneous site of the lesions drove them previously to the diagnosis of histiocytic sarcoma. These cases stress the problem of the immunological identification of cutaneous lymphomas of "histiocytic" type.
