Abstract
Eosinophilic dermatosis of hematologic malignancy (EDHM) is a cutaneous manifestation rarely seen in Chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) and chronic myelomonocytic leukemia (CMML). EDHM, first described in 19651, is identified by treatment-resistant pruritic papules, eosinophil-rich dermal lymphohistiocytic infiltrate, exclusion of other causes of tissue eosinophilia, and preexisting diagnosis of hematologic malignancy2. Similarly, arthropod hypersensitivity reactions, or insect bite hypersensitivity, also cause significant discomfort and morbidity in individuals with hematologic malignancies. Proposed treatments exist, but assessing exaggerated skin reactions as prognostic markers requires further study. We outline two clinical cases illustrating the potential spectrum of EDHM encounters.
