Abstract
Leukemia cutis is characterized by the infiltration of leukemic cells into the skin. As a rare presentation of acute myelogenous leukemia or acute lymphoblastic leukemia with marked clinical heterogeneity, the diagnosis may be difficult or delayed. We report two cases of leukemia cutis that occurred simultaneously at two different hospitals with very different presentations: a 3-year-old boy with a purplish-red lesion in the lower extremity resembling hemangioma; and a 4-year-old boy with an impetigo-like lesion on the scalp. We highlight the importance of including cutaneous leukemia in the differential diagnosis of children with unusual evolution of skin lesions.
