Özet
A 9-year-old girl diagnosed with acute myeloblastic leukemia M4 developed isolated cutaneous relapse. She was given chemotherapy including idarubicin, fludarabine, and cytarabine. Although she developed very severe pancytopenia, increase in the number and size of the lesions was seen. Total skin electron beam therapy was applied to the skin lesions for a total of 18 Gy. All lesions responded to total skin electron beam therapy, some of them completely disappeared. After resolution of the skin findings, she underwent bone marrow transplantation from her matched brother. Twenty-six months after hematopoietic stem cell transplantation she is alive without any event.
