Leukaemias myeloic of the skin C92.7

Integument: 0.5- 5.0 cm in size, usually sharply circumscribed, firm, blue- to brown-red, sometimes blue-grey to livid-red, easily necrotically disintegrating papules, plaques or nodules. Confluence of small foci results in plate-like, flat, pale, blue-gray to bluish-red, smooth or bumpy, firm plaques that may become hemorrhagic as a result of the frequently accompanying thrombocytopenia.

Mucous membrane (especially oral and pharyngeal cavity): Hemorrhages, reddish to purplish, nodular or squamous, moderately coarse infiltrates, sometimes overgrowing the teeth.

Only very rarely are tumor formations that acquire a greenish color due to intramural production of porphyrins and are therefore called chloroma.
