The association of insect bite-like reactions with hematological malignancies, especially chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) is well established. Rarely, these eruptions may involve the subcutis, leading to eosinophilic panniculitis. Here, we present a case of CLL accompanied by an insect bite-like reaction with features of panniculitis. Insect bite-like lesions, eosinophilic panniculitis and and Wells' syndrome should be considered in the same spectrum in patients with hematologic disorders.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
