Am J Hematol. 2002 Dec;71(4):323-7. doi: 10.1002/ajh.10226.

Abstract

An unusual case of chronic lymphocytic leukemia presenting in association with aplastic anemia is discussed, along with a review of the few previously reported cases. Possible humoral and cellular autoimmune mechanisms are examined as possible causes of marrow aplasia in this setting.
