Leukemia cutis is a comprehensive terminology for dermal manifestations of any type of leukemia either with accompanied or antecedent blood or bone marrow involvement. Although both myeloid and lymphoid neoplastic leukocytes can infiltrate the skin, the frequency is higher among children with congenital myeloid leukemia. However, the underlying pathogenesis of dermal tropism is not yet established. Clinical manifestation varies regarding appearance, site, and numbers. Skin biopsy is essential for the early establishment of the diagnosis and to guide for further testing and categorical management. We report the case of acute myeloid leukemia-cutis in a 22-year-old female where cutaneous manifestation preceded the hematological diagnosis of systemic leukemia.

Dermatological adverse events (AEs) are generally mild during therapy with Bruton's tyrosine kinase inhibitor (BTKi), and it is often unnecessary to adjust the BTKi dosage or discontinue treatment. However, in this study, we present the cases of two patients diagnosed with chronic lymphocytic leukemia/small lymphocytic lymphoma (CLL/SLL) who experienced severe dermatological AEs during BTKi treatment and subsequently had to discontinue it. The first patient, who previously suffered from rashes, experienced rashes again along with fever when exposed to BTKi.
