    Area of Science:

    • Pediatric Hematology Oncology
    • Ophthalmology
    • Pathology

    Background:

    • Congenital leukemia is a rare and aggressive malignancy presenting at birth or within the first few months of life.
    • Early diagnosis and understanding of its unique clinical and pathological features are crucial for management.

    Observation:

    • A 5-week-old infant presented with tachypnea, tachycardia, intercostal retractions, abdominal distension, and multiple hematomas.
    • Clinical signs suggested a severe systemic illness requiring immediate intervention.

    Findings:

    • Despite aggressive treatment, the infant succumbed to the disease.
    • Autopsy revealed extensive leukemic infiltrates within the ocular structures, including muscles, conjunctiva, uveal tract, and optic nerve.

    Implications:

    • This case underscores the potential for ocular involvement in congenital leukemia.
    • Understanding the distribution of leukemic infiltrates is vital for comprehensive diagnosis and potentially for future therapeutic strategies.
