Leukemia Cutis (LC) is a term used to describe the infiltration of leukemic cells into the dermis or sub cutis tissue, resulting in different forms of skin manifestations. Aleukemia leukemia cutis refers to the presence of LC prior to the development of systemic leukemia. Leukemia cutis is more commonly associated with Acute Myeloid Leukemia (AML) compared to Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia (ALL), although the latter accounts for the majority of acute leukemia cases in childhood. We report a child who presented with a rare and unusual cutaneous pattern of angioedema like lesion caused by leukemia cutis.
