Comments:

This 7-year-old boy received a bone marrow transplant 2 months earlier for acute lymphocytic leukemia. A morbilliform eruption developed several days earlier in association with eye lid edema, elevated liver enzymes and diarrhea. A skin biopsy showed changes typical of acute graft versus host disease. His generalized hyperpigmentation resulted from ablative chemotherapy.
