Abstract
Neuroblastoma is the most common solid tumor of infancy presenting clinically in a
plethora of different and sometimes unpredictable ways with a wide range of symptoms.
Young children can present with bluish skin metastases that may resemble bruising
secondary to child abuse. Blueberry muffin baby had been reported to be a manifestation
of either dermal erythropoiesis secondary to some congenital viral infections or neoplastic
infiltrations. Among the neoplastic diseases, neuroblastoma has been the most common
association with these subcutaneous skin metastases. Here, we report 2 months infant
