Myelodysplasia cutis is a relatively new described entity that is characterized by cutaneous plaques and nodules representing dermal infiltration of myeloid immature non-blastic cells. It can be related to myelodysplastic syndromes or myeloproliferative disorders. It has distinct clinical and histopathological features in comparison with leukemia cutis. We report an unusual case of late myelodysplasia cutis in a male patient with essential thrombocythemia. It is only the second case reported to be related to this myeloproliferative disorder.
