| Popis: | We report a patient with specific cutaneous involvement by B-cell chronic lymphocytic leukemia, who demonstrated unusual clinical features during the course of the disease, namely several spontaneous regressions of skin lesions with the formation of scars. In addition, histologically proven keratoacanthoma was found. During the follow-up period of approximately 1.5 years, the patient experienced several recurrences of skin lesions and their partial spontaneous regression. The scars persisted and remained unchanged. We hypothesize that vascular injury combined with edema could have accounted for dermal ischemia and the subsequent development of the scarring lesions. |
