  • Title: Cutaneous lymphocytic vasculitis in acute myeloid leukaemia.
    Author: Farrell AM, Gooptu C, Woodrow D, Costello C, Bunker CB, Cream JJ.
    Journal: Br J Dermatol; 1996 Sep; 135(3):471-4. PubMed ID: 8949448.
    Abstract:
    We report a 63-year-old woman who presented with an 8-week history of widespread indurated, purpuric lesions associated with weight loss of 7 kg and several episodes of epistaxis. A skin biopsy demonstrated a lymphocytic vasculitis with haemorrhage and parakeratosis. A blood film and bone marrow examination showed features of a myelodysplastic syndrome in transformation to acute myeloid leukaemia. Leucocytoclastic vasculitis and polyarteritis nodosa occur in association with acute myeloid leukaemia, but the association with lymphocytic vasculitis is new.
