Abstract:The association of chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) and chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) in the same patient is very rare. There are a few reports in the literature of such cases, the majority of which correspond to CML occurring during theevolutive course of CLL. We report a patient who developed CLL 18 months after he was diagnosed to be suffering from CML. There is only one other report of such a sequence occurring in the same patient. The case is discussed with reference to the literature.
