Leukemic infiltrations in the skin must apparently be regarded as an exceptionally rare condition in myeloid leukemia, although numerous instances associated with the lymphatic type are recorded. Hazen,1 in 1911, in a thorough review of the skin changes in the leukemias could find in the literature only five cases of the myeloid type. These were reported by Hindenberg,2 Nékám3 (two cases), Rolleston and Fox4 and Bruusgaard.5 Arndt,6 in the same year, in his extensive studies on the lymphadenoses of the skin refers to only two cases, namely, those of Hindenberg and Bruusgaard. Of a later date we have been able to find only one instance of this condition, that published by Saphier and Seyderheim7 in 1920. These authors in their review of the literature state that they were able to find only one case with a histology similar to that of their own
