The authors describe a case of chronic neutrophilic leukemia (CNL) showing trisomy of chromosome 8. This anomaly, particularly common in cases of myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS), has never been previously found to be associated with this rare type of leukemia. Thus CNL may occasionally be cytogenetically indistinguishable from cases of MDS.

D001853	Bone Marrow	The soft tissue filling the cavities of bones. Bone marrow exists in two types, yellow and red. Yellow marrow is found in the large cavities of large bones and consists mostly of fat cells and a few primitive blood cells. Red marrow is a hematopoietic tissue and is the site of production of erythrocytes and granular leukocytes. Bone marrow is made up of a framework of connective tissue containing branching fibers with the frame being filled with marrow cells.
