A rare case of chronic myeloid leukaemia in a young male masquerading as essential thrombocytosis
Journal Title: The Indian Practitioner - Year 2018, Vol 71, Issue 11
Abstract
The children and young adults constitute onlya small percentage of chronic myeloid leukaemia (CML) patients. We are presenting here a unique case of CML in a young male masquerading as essential thrombocytosis (ET) with non-specific signs & symptoms. The patient was later managed with newer tyrosine kinase inhibitor because of an inadequate response from imatinib. The patient is now doing well and is in regular follow up.
