Although leukemia’s are the most common malignant disease seen in children, it occurs rarely in neonates. Only few cases of congenital leukemia have been reported in literature. We report here a rare case of congenital lymphoblastic leukemia in a 10 days old full term male neonate of normal home delivery who presented in the hospital with complaints of fast breathing and fever of 1 day duration. Initial clinical manifestation was that of Multi organ dysfunction syndrome due to late onset neonatal sepsis but was found to have acute leukemia on subsequent investigations.
