Chronic lymphocytic leukemia is a neoplastic entity pertaining to lymphocytes when they get accumulated in either lymph nodes thereby call as Small lymphocytic lymphoma or spilled up in the circulation of the blood. These lymphocytes are mature looking, relatively immunologically competent usually expressing B cell phenotype markers. The median age of affection of patients at the time of diagnosis is 71 years and its incidence increases with age. Its incidence in an age group <50 years is quite uncommon accounting only to 10-15% of total diagnosed cases. Here we are presenting such a rare case report of chronic lymphocytic leukaemia where age of affection is less than 40 years. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
