Cutaneous lesions in a case of acute megakaryoblastic leukaemia.
We describe the case of a 68-year-old woman who presented with asymptomatic skin nodules and symptoms of anaemia, and was found to have acute megakaryoblastic leukaemia with fibrosis, a condition now believed to correspond to the former diagnosis of acute myelofibrosis. There is only one previous report of skin lesions developing in this condition.
