Abstract
<jats:p>We describe a case of Philadelphia‐positive chronic myeloid leukaemia occurring simultaneously with B‐cell chronic lymphocytic leukaemia in a 69‐yr‐old male. Gene probe analysis of DNA from both peripheral blood and bone marrow provided evidence for the independent evolution of 2 clones in this case, with a predominant population showing immunoglobulin heavy chain gene rearrangement and a smaller population showing a rearrangement within the breakpoint cluster region of chromosome 22.</jats:p>
