Aleukemic Leukemia

Leukemia is a serious disease, a cancer of blood or bone marrow. It is a cancer of white blood cells (WBCs). Abnormal production of leukocytes or white blood cells in the bone marrow leads to leukemia, resulting in several health complications. Aleukemic Leukemia is a leukemia in which the leukocyte count is normal or below normal.

In aleukemic leukemia, increased number of white blood cells is not detected in a blood test. It is a rare type of leukemia. This type of leukemia can also be lymphocytic, monocytic, or myelogenous. It can be seen in patients diagnosed with acute/chronic lymphocytic/meylogenous leukemia and also in prolymphocytic leukemia, and myelodysplastic syndrome.
