[Cutaneous localizations of chronic lymphoid leukemia in a zona area].

Leukemia cutis is a rare event in B-cell chronic lymphocytic leukemia.


METHODS
A patient with B-cell chronic lymphocytic leukemia developed leukemia cutis at the site of prior cervical (C2-C3) herpes zoster.


CONCLUSIONS
Leukemia cutis on prior site of herpes zoster is exceptional. It should be differentiated from non specific skin reactions secondary to herpes zoster.
