Skin involvement in leukemia.
Skin infiltration in leukaemia occurs rarely. We describe here four such cases of acute leukaemia. In two, the skin infiltration was evident at presentation; in the other two, it developed while on treatment. The lesions varied from maculopapular to tumorous stage. Complete remission could be achieved with chemotherapy, however, the long term prognosis was poor.
