Abstract

This paper discusses a case of congenital leukemia cutis of lymphoblastic type presenting as a solitary frontonasal tumor. The presentation is unusual when compared with other reported cases of neonatal leukemia and represents the only reported case with comparable presenting features to the authors' knowledge. The differential diagnosis with other frontonasal tumors is discussed.
