Blueberry muffin baby is the characteristic distributed purpura occurring as a result of extramedullary hematopoiesis found in infants.[1][2]:826 The purpura are often generalized, but occur more often on the trunk, head, and neck.[3] The name is from the superficial similarity to a blueberry muffin.
