“Preleukemic or Smoldering” chronic Myelogenous leukemia (CML):BCR-ABL1 positive: A brief case report

We report a case of confirmed Ph+CML with a normal CBC detected because of the presence of rare myelocytes and 2% basophils. [Fig. 1] Previous leukocyte counts for the preceding 8 years were normal with the exception of one done 4 months prior to his presentation that showed an abnormal differential with 1% basophils, 2% metamyelocytes and 2% myelocytes.
