All of the following are true about Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia, Except:
Answer is D (T lymphocyte CLL is more common) The most common form of CLL is a B-cell CLL. The most common form of Chronic Lymphocytic leukemia is a B-cell CLL B cell CLL is more common than T cell CLL. CLL is diagnosed on routine blood tests/Leukocytosis Typical (B cell) CLL is often found incidentally when a complete blood count is done for another reasons. The diagnosis is usually made when an increased number of circulating lymphocytes (T WBC count) is found on routine complete blood counts. CLL does not normally present as an acute Leukemia Transformation of CLL into acute Leukemias has been repoed in a few studies but such transformation is extremely rare, and there is no convincing evidence that CLL ever transforms into an Acute Leukemia. 'There is no convincing evidence that CLL ever transforms into ALL'
