Abstract
Most patients with congenital leukemia do not survive past infancy despite aggressive chemotherapy. We describe three patients with congenital leukemia who have undergone prolonged periods of spontaneous remission. Our experience suggests that some patients with congenital leukemia may benefit from initial conservative management without chemotherapy. We summarize the clinical presentations of these patients and review the literature.
