The coexistence of chronic lymphocytic leukaemia and polycythaemia vera terminating in acute myeloid leukaemia.

This rare simultaneous occurrence of both chronic lymphoid and myeloid proliferations as well as nonlymphoblastic leukaemia developing in a patient with CLL is discussed in the light of literature data.
