Presentation
Twenty-five to 30% of congenital leukemia cases present with cutaneous leukemic infiltrates. Rarely, infants will have aleukemic leukemia cutis, presenting with leukemic skin lesions but without systemic symptoms or bone marrow involvement. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Workup
Hence skin biopsy may be helpful in detecting the leukemia and facilitate further workup especially in cases of aleukemic leukemia, as was seen in our case. [bioline.org.br]
In 8 patients we established the diagnosis solely based on the peripheral smear, as after the year 2000, we subjected all children presenting with proptosis to a peripheral blood smear as part of the routine workup. [jhoonline.biomedcentral.com]

Treatment
This report describes a 6-month-old boy with aleukemic leukemia cutis, which regressed without any treatments within 6 months. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
There are no curative therapeutic modalities, and it is fairly well accepted that the treatment of choice is immunosuppression. [dovepress.com]

Prognosis
There is no clear evidence between the effects of skin infiltration on leukaemia prognosis. However ALC is usually associated with a very poor prognosis in leukaemic patients [ 3, 5 ]. [edoj.org.eg]
This condition is associated with a very poor prognosis and is often difficult to diagnose. We report a case of a 33 years old female with leukemia cutis preceding the onset of acute monocytic leukemia by four months. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Leukemia cutis probably is a dissemination of systemic leukemia to the skin, and the demonstration of leukemia in skin is associated with a very poor prognosis. [scienceopen.com]
Prognosis depends on various factors, including the following (see also table below): Age: Children have a better prognosis than adults. Gender: Boys usually have a poorer prognosis than girls. [lecturio.com]
Etiology
Etiology Genetic and chromosomal aberrations, such as are found in other leukemias, are characteristic. [medical-dictionary.thefreedictionary.com]
Etiology of Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia The Causes of Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia In most cases, the etiology of ALL is idiopathic, although familial and hereditary linkages have not been ruled out, as a higher incidence is seen with some patients congenital [lecturio.com]
The etiology of the clinical condition with cardiorespiratory failure, pancytopenia, and disseminated intravascular coagulopathy together with skin hemorrhages and hepatosplenomegaly was at first elusive. [molcellped.springeropen.com]

Pathophysiology
This edition is organized by symptoms and signs that may be individually different even in the same disease and must be analyzed and understood on a pathophysiological basis within the framework of the individual personality. [books.google.de]
Pathophysiology All types of leukemia result from the abnormal development of leukocytes in the bone marrow. [emedicine.medscape.com]
The pathophysiology of these diseases is undoubtedly reflected in the cytogenetic and molecular abnormalities that are present at diagnosis. [cancertherapyadvisor.com]
