title: Unmistakable Morphology? Infantile Malignant Osteopetrosis Resembling Juvenile Myelomonocytic Leukemia in Infants.
abstract: The initial clinical and hematologic presentation of infantile malignant osteopetrosis may be indistinguishable from that of juvenile myelomonocytic leukemia in infants. Timely radiographic imaging, however, allows straightforward delineation of these 2 severe diseases and facilitates immediate initiation of appropriate therapy.
