We report an 25-year-old young male patient who presented with sudden onset multiple generalized skin lesions of dusky erythematous plaques of various size and shape all over the body which tends to bleed on rubbing. Histological evaluation revealed leukemia cutis with underlying atypical infiltrate contained atypical myeloid forms consistent with acute myelogenous leukemia (AML). His skin biopsy provided the first evidence of progression to AML. AML presenting with sudden onset leukemia cutis in a young boy is an extremely rare entity.
