A Neonate with Indurate Dermal Papules and Nodules and Pneumonia: a Case Report

Abstract

We presents an infant with several indurated plaques and nodules scattered on her body. She was brought to the hospital because of fever, runny nose and cough from one month ago. During the examination and investigation the plaques and nodules grabbed the attention of the clinicians and the skin biopsy and other lab works revealed the diagnosis of congenital leukemia.
