Leukemia Cutis in a Patient with Acute Myeloid Leukemia Undergoing Azacitidine-Venetoclax: Case Presentation and Review of the Literature

Abstract

Leukemia Cutis (LC) in acute myeloid leukemia (AML) is typically managed within the context of systemic AML therapy, namely intensive chemotherapy (IC). In frail patients, though, viable options are hypomethylating agents (HMAs) associated with Venetoclax (VEN), but data on the efficacy of this approach in this specific setting is scarce. Here, we report our experience and provide a short review of the previous cases of LC treated with HMAs plus VEN to underline the efficacy of such treatment in LC patients who are unsuitable for IC.
