Abstract
Recombinant human granulocyte colony-stimulating factor (rhG-CSF) induced cutaneous eruptions in two cases of acute myelogenous leukemia. In both cases, the eruptions appeared during rhG-CSF therapy for neutropenia induced by the remission-induction chemotherapy and disappeared rapidly after the discontinuance of rhG-CSF therapy. Histopathology of those eruptions revealed dermal cell infiltrations consisting of some neutrophils and atypical cells. It was interesting that, although there were no leukemic cells in the peripheral blood or bone marrow, eruptions containing many leukemic cells appeared. The mechanism of the appearance of these eruptions was unclear, but it was considered that a few leukemic cells might have responded to rhG-CSF and proliferated in the skin.
