Bullous drug eruption with leukemic cell infiltrate in the setting of new-onset acute myeloid leukemia

AML: acute myeloid leukemia INTRODUCTION Bullous drug eruptions are cutaneous dermal hypersensitivity reactions to systemically administered medications. Classically, these eruptions appear 5 to 14 days after the initiation of the offending agent. On histopathologic examination, dermal hypersensitivity reactions are characterized by a superficial perivascular lymphocytic infiltrate, often with admixed eosinophils. We report an unusual case of a bullous drug reaction, histologically characterized by leukemic cells in a patient with new-onset acute myeloid leukemia (AML).
