“…In patients with leukaemia or a lymphoma, non-specific skin reactions can be present. [135][136][137][138][139] Among these reactions are Sweet's syndrome, erythema nodosum and eosinophilic folliculitis. These are reaction patterns that can occur after a variety of triggers.…”

Allogeneic haematopoietic stem cell transplantation (i.e. bone marrow or peripheral blood stem cell transplantation) is a common procedure in the treatment of various haematological disorders such as aplastic anaemia, (pre)leukaemias, some malignant lymphomas, multiple myeloma and immunodeficiency states. Many of these patients develop erythematous skin lesions following transplantation. Although graft- versus-host disease is the major differential diagnosis in these situations, many other causes of erythema are encountered. The large number of transplant patients means that more and more pathologists are confronted with the challenging problem of making a correct diagnosis in these situations. In this review article we therefore describe the different causes of erythema and their differential diagnoses. In most cases the clinical presentation is related to the microscopical features. Besides acute and chronic graft-versus-host disease, we discuss the (common) drug reactions and non-specific features such as Sweet's syndrome, erythema nodosum and eosinophilic folliculitis. In addition, we deal with the recurrence of original diseases and infections. With this knowledge every pathologist should feel comfortable when looking at skin biopsies of patients after haematological stem cell transplantation.

“…A chemoattractant substance released from leukemic cells, including IL-8, and IFN-γ and granulocyte colony-stimulating factor (G-CSF) may be involved in developing neutrophilic tissue infiltration. Several studies have suggested a link between HCL and Sweet's syndrome [88][89][90][91][92][93][94]. It can be the first manifestation of HCL, or diagnosed at relapse of leukemia.…”

Skin changes in hairy cell leukemia

Skin lesions have been reported in about 10–12% of hairy cell leukemia (HCL) patients. Most are etiologically related to autoimmune or infectious processes, although secondary cutaneous neoplasms and drug-induced lesions are also reported. However, leukemia cutis with the direct infiltration of the skin by leukemic cells is extremely rare in HCL patients. This paper reviews the epidemiology, pathogenesis, clinical symptoms, diagnosis, and approach to treating skin lesions in HCL. A literature review of the MEDLINE database for articles in English concerning hairy cell leukemia, skin lesions, leukemia cutis, adverse events, infectious, cutaneous, drug reactions, neutrophilic dermatoses, secondary neoplasms, and vasculitis was conducted via PubMed. Publications from January 1980 to September 2020 were scrutinized. Additional relevant publications were obtained by reviewing the references from the chosen articles.
