    Author: Kakagia D, Tamiolakis D, Lambropoulou M, Kakagia A, Grekou A, Papadopoulos N.
    Journal: Minerva Stomatol; 2005 Mar; 54(3):161-3. PubMed ID: 15920448.
    Abstract:
    Cutaneous infection by Herpes virus (simplex or zoster) is a common non-specific skin manifestation in patients affected by B-cell chronic lymphocytic leukemia (B-CLL) or other malignant lymphomas and is attributed to the patients' immunodeficiency. Persistent or shortly recurrent lesions, however, may represent specific cutaneous infiltrates of systemic B-CLL of several months' duration. The occurrence of these lesions as first manifestation of B-CLL is rare and previously reported only on herpes zoster scars. A case of a 63-year-old male patient with cutaneous B-CLL infiltrate of the right oral commissure at the site of herpes simplex scar as first sign of the disease is herein reported.
