This article describes the facial complications of adult leukemia, as derived from a study of more than 3,000 patients treated at the University of Texas M.D. Anderson Hospital during the past 25 years. Facial leukemia cutis, leukemia-associated facial hemorrhages, leukemia-induced cranial nerve facial palsies, and leukemia-provoked pure and mixed facial infections are discussed.
