Chronic Myelogenous Leukemia is a malignant disorder involving the predominance of granulocytes (a particular type of white blood cell) of all stages of development which results in the abnormal accumulation of these cells in both the marrow and the bloodstream. CML may occur at any age in either sex. It is uncommon before 10 years of age, and occurs at an average age of 45.
