Eruptive acral lentiginosis following chemotherapy for acute
lymphoblastic leukaemia: a case series
Abstract
Lentigines are brown macules which represent increased proliferation of
melanocytes at the dermo-epidermal junction. We report three cases of
acral lentiginosis in children following chemotherapy for acute
lymphoblastic leukaemia (ALL) which have persisted following cessation
of chemotherapy, despite avid photoprotection.
