The American Journal of Dermatopathology, 04/24/2012
Starnes AM et al. – This case report of a 58–year–old man experiencing a flare of psoriasis elucidates the need for clinical suspicion when a history of leukemia is present. A skin biopsy revealed histopathologic findings of psoriasis and an infiltrate of mononuclear cells consistent with Leukemia Cutis (LC). Upon review of the literature, 2 additional cases were reported of concurrent psoriasis and LC.
