Leukemia cutis is a comprehensive terminology for dermal manifestations of any type of leukemia either with accompanied or antecedent blood or bone marrow involvement. Although both myeloid and lymphoid neoplastic leukocytes can infiltrate the skin, the frequency is higher among children with congenital myeloid leukemia. However, the underlying pathogenesis of dermal tropism is not yet established.

Neonatal leukaemia is defined as occurring within the first 28 days of life and most, if not all, cases are congenital. With the exception of Down syndrome-associated transient abnormal myelopoiesis, which is not considered here, neonatal leukaemias are rare. In two-thirds of patients the disease manifests as an acute myeloid leukaemia, frequently with monocytic/monoblastic characteristics.

Background: Neonatal leukemia is a rare disease with an estimated prevalence of about one to five in a million neonates. The majority being acute myeloid leukemia (AML), neonatal leukemia can present with a variety of symptoms including hyperleucocytosis, cytopenia, hepatosplenomegaly, and skin infiltrates. Chromosomal rearrangements including mixed lineage leukemia (MLL) translocations are common in neonatal AML.

The multidisciplinary management of a male neonate presenting with congenital acute myelogenous leukemia of monoblastic phenotype is reported using conventional chemotherapy, high dose conditioning, and matched unrelated donor stem cell transplantation. These therapies were combined to add a graft versus leukemia effect to the treatment. Although chimerism studies showed a decrease of donor white blood cells, T-cells remained stable of allogeneic origin.

The primate lentivirus auxiliary protein Vpx counteracts an unknown restriction factor that renders human dendritic and myeloid cells largely refractory to HIV-1 infection. Here we identify SAMHD1 as this restriction factor. SAMHD1 is a protein involved in Aicardi-Goutières syndrome, a genetic encephalopathy with symptoms mimicking congenital viral infection, that has been proposed to act as a negative regulator of the interferon response.
