Abstract

Abstract : Background . Eosinophilic dermatosis of hematologic disorders is a reactive process that may cause a variety of clinical manifestations. Methods . We report a patient who had outbreaks of skin lesions since the onset of chronic lymphocytic leukaemia. Results . The cutaneous eruptions began as eosinophilic panniculitis and after changed to insect bite-like lesions. Conclusion . We think that eosinophilic panniculitis and insect bite-like lesions may be part of the spectrum of the same entity in patients with hematologic disorders.
