About two-thirds of the patients with hematological malignancies have mucocutaneous manifestations. Specific manifestations include leukemia cutis, leukemic vasculitis, and mucosal hyperplasia. Non-specific manifestations include reactive dermatoses, infective dermatoses, and miscellaneous manifestations. Mucocutaneous manifestations help in depicting the course and prognosis of hematological malignancies.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Aim and Objectives:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>To determine the frequency and pattern of mucocutaneous manifestations in patients with leukemia and lymphoma, and to determine the degree of correlation between various mucocutaneous manifestations and the types of leukemias and lymphomas.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Patients and Methods:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>This cross-sectional study was conducted in hematology and dermatology outpatient and inpatient departments in a tertiary care center in North India for 18 months.
