    Transient Myeloproliferative Disorder (TMD), is an important hematological disorder which is seen in newborns with Down syndrome. It is often self- limiting and spontaneous remissions occur within 3 months. Leukocytosis, thrombocytopenia, anemia, hepatosplenomegaly, the presence of cutaneous nodules and blasts in the peripheral blood are characteristic findings.
