A 27-Year-Old Patient Fulfilling the Diagnostic Criteria of Both CMML and JMML

Abstract EN

Chronic myelomonocytic leukaemia (CMML) and juvenile myelomonocytic leukaemia (JMML) are two disease entities that come under the myelodysplastic/myeloproliferative neoplasms category.

Each of the two conditions has its own diagnostic criteria.

In addition, they have different ages of presentation; while CMML is typically a disease of the elderly, JMML is a disease of young children.

Here we are presenting the case of a 27-year-old male patient who, at the time of diagnosis, fulfilled the diagnostic criteria of both diseases.

In addition he had radiological changes of type 1 neurofibromatosis.

Possible explanations of the patient case have been discussed.
