- Abstract
A 70-year-old woman presented with itching and skin lesions on her torso, arms, and legs. She had a medical history of hypertension and chronic myelomonocytic leukemia type 1 (CMML-1). Physical examination revealed mixed purpuric and erythematous maculopapular lesions on her trunk and limbs. Laboratory tests showed low platelet and white blood cell counts. A punch biopsy confirmed the presence of myelomonocytic leukemia in the skin. This case highlights the rare occurrence of cutaneous involvement in CMML and the importance of prompt diagnosis and appropriate treatment.
