The coexistence of chronic lymphocytic (CLL) and chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) in the<br />
same patient has only been reported occasionally. Most of these cases represent the<br />
patients who developed CML during the cource of CLL. Reviewing the literature, only a<br />
few cases of simultaneous occurrence of CLL and CML was found. Here we represent a<br />
preveously fit 50-year old man in whom the diagnosis of CLL and CML was established<br />
by FNAB of the bone marrow. The diagnosis was then confirmed by histopathology, immunophenotypization<br />
of the peripheral blood and by cytogenetic study of the bone marrow.<br />
Four years after the diagnosis the patient is well, with leucocytosis of 40x109 , on the<br />
count of lymphocytes (93%).<br />
