Leukemia, Skin, UlcerAbstract
Leukemia is a malignant neoplasm that compromises the hematopoietic system and depending on the cell lineage involved, as well as its maturity, it can be classified into several subtypes. This abnormal proliferation of hematopoietic cells can infrequently infiltrate the skin and mucous, causing a wide range of clinical findings. Considering the wide diversity of mucocutaneous findings in patients with this diagnosis makes its approach a challenge. We describe a woman diagnosed with acute myeloid leukemia, who presented a lesion on the tongue compatible histopathologically with leukemia cutis
