Abstract

The authors are reporting a case of autoimmune lymphoproliferative syndrome in a newborn who presented with massive hepatosplenomegaly, thrombocytopenia, and anemia at birth. Antenatal ultrasound revealed a fetus with hepatosplenomegaly. The infant was treated with steroids and sirolimus and is doing well at 4 years of age. This is the first case report of autoimmune lymphoproliferative syndrome presenting as hepatosplenomegaly during fetal life.
