We have experienced a case of congenital myelogenous leukemia, 5-months old infant, presented with skin nodules without symptoms. The patient was apparently well until 1 month of life when bluish skin nodules was noticed at first on scalp and then on the chest and abdomen. There was no subjected symptoms. No abnormal findings were found on physical examinations except the skin nodules. No abnormal findings were found on physical examinations except the skin nodules. No abnormal cells were found on peripheral blood smear and skin punch biopsy. About 4 months later after the first visit, the patient manifested high fever, irritability, abdominal distension, hepatosplenomegaly and multiple non-tender skin ncdules which was seemed to be increased in number. Peripheral blood smear, bone marrow examination and skin biopsy revealed markedly- infiltrated leukemic cells which was diagnosed as acute myelogenous leukemia.
