Chronic Oro-Genital Ulcerations as a Presenting Feature of Chronic Eosinophilic Leukemia: A Case Report.

Hypereosinophilia can be primary, including idiopathic hypereosinophilic syndrome (HES) and chronic eosinophilic leukemia, or secondary/reactive to various infective and non-infective stimuli. Chronic oro-genital ulcerations can occur due to various dermatological and non-dermatological disorders, and many times it serves as a useful indicator of an underlying systemic disorder. Hence, a case presenting with chronic oro-genital ulcerations needs a thorough evaluation. We are reporting an interesting case of a middle-aged male who had chronic oro-genital ulcerations as a presenting feature of chronic eosinophilic leukemia with FIP1L1-PDGFRA fusion (FIP1-like 1/platelet-derived growth factor receptor alpha). The patient's oro-genital ulcerations responded excellently to imatinib.
