Aleukemic Myeloid Leukemia Cutis with a Kikuchi Disease-Like Inflammatory Pattern in Myelodysplastic Syndrome.

We present a rare case of so-called aleukemic myeloid leukemia cutis in an 82-year-old man subsequently diagnosed as having MDS without progression to overt AML. This case also illustrates a seemingly rare Kikuchi disease-like inflammatory pattern that obscured the underlying leukemic infiltrate in the skin, delaying its recognition.
