Peripheral blood film showed presence of 30% blast cells which were large in size having abundant granular cytoplasm. Karyotyping results revealed presence of trisomy 21. She was diagnosed as a case of Down syndrome with congenital leukemia. Approximately 10% of such cases present as Transient Abnormal Myelopoiesis.
