Eosinophilic Panniculitis and Insect Bite-Like Eruption in a Patient with Chronic Lymphocytic Leukaemia : A Spectrum of the Same Entity

Abstract EN

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.
