Abstrakt: Abstract: Indeterminate dendritic cell tumor (IDCT) is an exceedingly rare neoplasm that can be associated with hematopoietic malignancies. We report a case of multifocal cutaneous blastic indeterminate dendritic cell tumor (BIDCT) in a 75-year-old man with chronic myelomonocytic leukemia showing blastic histiocytoid morphology, positivity for CD1a and S100, and no expression of langerin. We present a literature review on the 11 reported cases of IDCTs/BIDCTs associated with chronic myelomonocytic leukemia (CMML), including this case. The clinicopathological characteristics have been summarized. The IDCT and CMML cells are clonally related in 4 tested cases. Patients with IDCT/BIDCT associated with CMML seem to have worse clinical outcomes compared with patients with IDCT not associated with CMML.
