Relapse in hairy cell leukemia due to isolated nodular skin infiltration

Pediatr Hematol Oncol. 2001 Sep;18(6):415-7. doi: 10.1080/088800101316922047.

Abstract

Leukemic skin infiltration is quite uncommon in certain types of leukemia. Here, a child with hairy cell leukemia who developed isolated skin infiltration during remission is reported. The failure to diagnose the leukemic infiltration until the nodule reached a diameter of 2 cm is emphasized.
