摘要

We report a case of acute graft versus host disease (GvHD) in a 31-year-old Indonesian woman diagnosed with acute myelomonocytic leukaemia. She presented with a purpuric eruption of haemorrhagic maculopapules over both palms. This case is unusual in that this is a purpuric form of GvHD that is not commonly seen. It is also an important clinical vignette that reminds clinicians to interpret examination findings in the appropriate clinical context, where initial considerations of pompholyx and eczema should also include GvHD, leukaemia cutis and engraftment syndrome.
