RESUMEN
Congenital leukemia is a rare disease developing within the first 4 to 6 weeks of life, whose natural history is quite different from that of childhood and adult leukemia. Leukemia cutis occurs in 25% to 30% of infants with congenital leukemia and is more frequently associated with acute myeloid leukemia than acute lymphocytic leukemia. We report a case of congenital leukemia cutis in which a walnut-sized, slightly erythematous, dome-shaped tumor that had developed at left frontal area since birth was confirmed by skin biopsy. A review and analysis of Korean literature pertaining specially to leukemia cutis in congenital leukemia is presented along with the report of an additional case.
