Abstract
A 36-year-old man with treated hairy cell leukemia developed a skin infection due to Mycobacterium marinum. A spectrum of atypical cutaneous mycobacteriosis presentations with immunosuppression can be found. The recognition of the disease needs cutaneous biopsies for histopathology and its identification by specific laboratory methods to adapt treatment.
