/L. This proliferation may be transient, causing a transient leukemoid reaction in a background of constitutional trisomy 21 ("Transient Abnormal Myelopoieseis" or TAM) or Infantile Myeloproliferative Disease in the absence of constitutional trisomy 21 ("Infantile Myeloproliferative Disease" or IMD). In cases of true neonatal AML, the prognosis of patients is poor. Overall survival is around 35 % in the largest historical series. This poor prognosis is mainly due to the period of onset of this pathology making the use of chemotherapy more limited and involving many considerations, both ethical and therapeutic. The objective of this work is to review this rare pathology by addressing the clinical, biological, therapeutic and ethical particularities of patients with true neonatal AML or transient leukemoid reactions occurring in a constitutional trisomy 21 (true TAM) or somatic background (IMD).
