Abstract

There have been few cases of Neurofibromatosis associated with Chronic Myelocytic Leukemia in literature and we found only one report in Korea which described the association of Chronic Myelocytic Leukemia with Neurofibromatosis. We report a case of patient whose clinical and hematological findings were compatible with Chronic Myelocytic Leukemia and Neurofibromatosis. Busulfan was used in the treatment of this patient followed by some degree of remission. A brief review of literature supporting our diagnosis was included in this report.
