A 1-month-old Caucasian girl was referred to our Hematology Clinic for persistent thrombocytopenia diagnosed after a bleeding episode. Diagnostic tests suggested FMAIT. Mild thrombocytopenia persisted for 18 months, and subsequent findings of dysmorphic facies, short stature and mild pulmonary stenosis led to the hypothesis of Noonan syndrome (NS), which was confirmed by genetic test. Other hematological abnormalities were excluded and she had no further bleeding episodes. This case illustrates the possibility of different diagnoses with the same clinical manifestations. The persistence of thrombocytopenia longer than expected associated with typical physical features led to the diagnosis of NS.engAutoantibodiesBlood PlateletsFemaleHumansInfant, NewbornIsoantibodiesNoonan SyndromePlatelet CountRh IsoimmunizationThrombocytopeniaHDE HEM PEDjournal article10.3109/09537104.2015.1107034
