Summary We describe the case of a 68‐year‐old woman who presented with asymptomatic skin nodules and symptoms of anaemia, and was found to have acute mega‐karyoblastic leukaemia with fibrosis, a condition now believed to correspond to the former diagnosis of acute myelofibrosis. There is only one previous report of skin lesions developing in this condition.
