==Chronic myeloid leukemia==
*Abbreviated ''CML''.
===General===
*Adults - usu. 50s or 60s.
Clinical - commonly:<ref>{{Ref PCPBoD8|336}}</ref>
*Leukocytosis - neutrophils, myelocytes, metamyelocytes, +/-eosinophilia, +/-basophilia.
Progression:
#Chronic phase - potentially curable.
#Accelerated phase.
#Blast crisis.
Treatment:
*[[Imatinib]].
Notes:
*Myeloblast (common granulocyte precursor) -> promyelocyte -> metamyelocyte -> myelocyte -> band -> mature myelocyte.<ref name=hemechart>URL: [http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Hematopoiesis_%28human%29_diagram.png http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Hematopoiesis_%28human%29_diagram.png]. Accessed on: 14 January 2012.</ref>
===Microscopic===
Features:
*Bone marrow with too many granulocytes/granulocyte precursors.
**Granulocyte precursors:<ref name=hemechart>URL: [http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Hematopoiesis_%28human%29_diagram.png http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Hematopoiesis_%28human%29_diagram.png]. Accessed on: 14 January 2012.</ref>
**#Myeloblast (common granulocyte precursor) ~ 90% nucleus, multiple nucleoli.
**#*Should be less than 10%.
**#Promyelocyte (committed to a specific linage (neutrophil, basophil or eosinophil)) - dia. 2x mature, 40-50% nucleus, one nucleolus.
**#Metamyelocyte - dia. 2x mature, 30-40% nucleus, no nucleolus.
**#Myelocyte - dia. 1x mature, 50-60% nucleus - kidney bean shape, no nucleolus.
**#Band - dia. 1x mature, 30-40% nucleus - C shape/irregular, no nucleolus.
