Abstract
The coexistence of chronic myeloid leukaemia(CML) and chronic lymphocytic
leukemia(CLL) has been reported occasionally in literature, with only seven
cases of simultaneous occurrence of these two diseases. We present here a
case of 57 yr male patient where a complete blood count and differential done
using volume conductivity scatter (VCS) technology suggested a diagnosis of
CML with CLL. It was further confi rmed by immunophneotyping and cytogenetic
analysis. The patient was started on tyrosine kinase inhibitor, 400 mg once daily.
Four months after the treatment, patient is doing fi ne with a count of 22 × 109/L
and 64% lymphocytes.
