Abstract

The association of leukocytoclastic vasculitis or dermatomyositis with malignancies has been reported. We describe a patient who developed a skin rash, histologically compatible with dermatomyositis, which during the course of the disease switched to leukocytoclastic vasculitis, which was accompanied with peripheral blood pancytopenia in the absence of any specific pathological manifestation from the bone marrow three years prior to the diagnosis of acute myelomonocytic leukemia (AMML).
