Haematological malignancies presenting with skin manifestations

It is rare for a patient with haematological malignancy to initially present to a dermatologist with related skin manifestations. In this case series, we describe 4 patients with haematological malignancies who presented to our unit over a 2-year period with related skin lesions. The skin manifestations described include leukaemia cutis, erythema nodosum, papular urticaria-like lesions, generalized pruritus, and exfoliative dermatitis. Increased awareness on these rare presentations should help early recognition of these treatable and potentially fatal conditions.
