Abstract

GONZALEZ GARCIA, Nilvia Esther et al. Acute congenital leukemia. Rev Cubana Pediatr [online]. 2011, vol.83, n.2, pp.193-199. ISSN 0034-7531.

Acute leukemia during neonatal period is not frequent, of a fast course and gloomy prognosis. Its clinical and biological features differ of that present in older children and it onset is characterized by cutaneous affection, hepatosplenomegaly, hyperleukocytosis and infiltration of central nervous system (CNS). There are patients presenting with myeloid and lymphoid types, but the acute leukemia seems to predominate in this stage of life. This is the case of a patient with acute leukemia morphologically classified, with appearance of clinical manifestations of hematologic disease from birth and a diagnosis of congenital acute lymphoblastic leukemia.

Keywords : Newborn; congenital leukemia.
