Abstract

Leukemia is a blood and bone marrow malignancy. Chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL), acute lymphocytic leukemia (ALL), chronic myelogenous leukemia (CML), and acute myeloid leukemia are the four main kinds of leukemia (AML). The pathological diagnosis of plasma cell leukemia is based on histological, immunophenotypic, and cytogenetic findings in addition to the circulating plasma cell count.

Keywords: Chronic lymphocytic leukaemia, acute lymphocytic leukaemia, chronic myelogenous leukaemia, acute myeloid leukaemia
