Abstract
The skin involvement of the myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS) can take the for m of either a neoplastic infiltration or various non specific lesions. The occurrence of these lesions may be the presenting feature of the disease (M DS) or may herald its progression to acute leukemia. Recognition and early diagnosis have therapeutic and prognostic significance. (C) 1999 Published by Elsevier Science Ltd. All rights reserved.
