Dermatological Manifestations of Haematological Malignancies
Abstract
Hematological malignancies are heterogeneous group of disorders, which are broadly divided into lymphoid,
myeloid, histiocytic and mast cell neoplasms. Lymphoma, leukemia and plasmacell dyscariasia are not
uncommon in our enviroment. There are no accurate global epidemiological data on the prevalence of
hematological malignancies as well as the prevalence of cutaneous features found in these disorders.
However, recognition of cutaneous manifestation of systemic disorders remains an important aspect in
management of these patients by aiding early diagnosis of the internal disorder and limiting the number of
investigations especially when resources are limited. Furthermore, it is hoped that identification of these
cutaneous disorders by physicians will aid in diagnosis of the underlying disorder. The article reviews the
cutaneous manifestations associated with lymphomas, leukemia's and plasma cell dyscrasias.
