title: Congenital alveolar rhabdomyosarcoma presenting as a blueberry muffin baby.
abstract: Congenital alveolar rhabdomyosarcoma in a newborn was reported. She had multiple subcutaneous tumors and looked like a blueberry muffin baby. From the clinical signs and the histological pictures, a diagnosis of neuroblastoma was considered. Laboratory data showed no abnormalities. Electron microscopic examination revealed myofilament and incipient stria formation. On the basis of these data, a final diagnosis of congenital alveolar rhabdomyosarcoma associated with multiple skin metastases was made.
