| Abstract: | Summary Two male children with familial neurofibromatosis were observed to develop juvenile chronic myelogenous leukemia. These two cases add to previous reports which have described an increased incidence of non-lymphocytic leukemia in patients with neurofibromatosis. In particular, the rare entity juvenile chronic myelogenous leukemia would appear to be the form of non-lymphocytic leukemia that has a definite association with familial neurofibromatosis. |
