This report describes a neonate with dermal hematopoiesis associated with diffuse hemangiomatosis. The cutaneous lesions consisted of multiple red papules and bluish subcutaneous nodules scattered over his body. The nodules were bluish due to the presence of hematopoietic tissue within the hemangiomas. Although neonatal dermal hematopoiesis has been described with viral infections or hematologic dyscrasias, the association with diffuse hemangiomatosis has not been previously described.
