title: [Chronic lymphoid leukemia in young subjects].
abstract: A total of 8% of chronic lymphocytic leukemias (CLL) occur in young people, before the fourth decade, and can be considered as a specific clinical form of CLL. We report 24 cases of young CLL treated since 1975. The clinical course has the same characteristics in young as in old people except for the high tumoral B stage which has a worse prognosis.
