Blueberry muffin baby syndrome is a condition initially described in 1960 to classify the cutaneous manifestations of newborns with rubella. Subsequently, congenital diseases related to TORCH syndrome and blood dyscrasias have been included under this syndrome. Among the conditions associated with this syndrome is Langerhans Cell Histiocytosis, an uncommon condition with variable involvement of one or more organs, often affecting the skin.

Langerhans cells, often referred to as the "macrophages of the skin", are dendritic cells that normally reside in the epidermis and papillary dermis. Just like macrophages, they function as antigenpresenting cells that activate naive T cells. Certain mutations such as those involving the gene can cause unopposed production of Langerhans cells, which is known as Langerhans cell histiocytosis (LCH).

Neonatal acute myeloid leukemias (AML) occurred within the first 28 days of life and constitute only a small proportion of all AL. They are distinguished from leukemias of older children by their clinical presentation, which frequently includes cutaneous localizations ("blueberry muffin rash syndrome") and a leukocytosis above 50 ×10/L. This proliferation may be transient, causing a transient leukemoid reaction in a background of constitutional trisomy 21 ("Transient Abnormal Myelopoieseis" or TAM) or Infantile Myeloproliferative Disease in the absence of constitutional trisomy 21 ("Infantile Myeloproliferative Disease" or IMD).
