Overview & Learning Objectives
The objective of this lecture is to provide an overview of salient intersections between Dermatology and Hematology
We will use the following cases as guides throughout the lecture These are a fictional cases. The first case is loosely based off one that was presented at a Clinical-Pathologic Case Conference when I was a House Officer at Brigham and Women’s Hospital. I have changed several aspects of the case to de-identify it, though the medical principles of the case remain intact.
