Myeloid Neoplasms

Clin Lab Med. 2017 Sep;37(3):575-585. doi: 10.1016/j.cll.2017.05.005.

Abstract

The classification of myeloid neoplasms has undergone major changes and currently relies heavily on genetic abnormalities. Cutaneous manifestations of myeloid neoplasms may be the presenting sign of underlying bone marrow disease. Dermal infiltration by neoplastic cells may occur in otherwise normal skin or in sites of cutaneous inflammation. Leukemia cutis occasionally precedes evidence of blood and/or bone marrow involvement (aleukemic leukemia cutis).

Keywords: Acute; Chronic; Cutis; Leukemia; Myeloid; Myelomonocytic; Neoplasms; Skin.
