Abstract
Chronic myelomonocytic leukemia (CMML) is a clonal disorder of hematopoetic stem cells with myelodysplastic and myeloproliferative features. Skin infiltration by leukemic cells is rare in CMML. A case is presented with severe dermatological involvement and concomitant testicular infiltration. An unusual feature was the evidence that the skin was the primary site of an acute leukemic transformation.
