==Overview==
Chronic neutrophilic leukemia (CNL) is an extremely rare myeloproliferative neoplasms with almost 200 cases in the world. While, most of the time this disease is asymptomatic, fatigue, weight loss, night sweats, bone pain, gout and pruritus are some of its symptoms. Splenomegaly is found in examination of most patients. 
==Historical Perspective==

===Other Diagnostic Studies===
===Bone marrow morphology===
Bone marrow morphology in CNL patient may show:
*Hypercellularity with myeloid hyperplasia
in CNL due to expanded neutrophilic granulopoiesis with an increased myeloid to erythroid ratio which may be in excess of 20:128. However, the left shift is distinctly more subtle and mature neutrophils more prominent than in CML with the majority of granulocyte precursors being at the metamyelocyte to segmented stages of maturation. Fewer than 5% myeloblasts are present and there is an  absence of Auer rods as well as no dysplastic features16. Reticulin staining, though characteristically normal, may show minimal fibrosis but should not exceed a grade of 1+12. Erythroid maturation is normoblastic and megakaryocytes, while morphologically normal, may be normal or slightly increased in number16.
*Increasing of myelocytes, metamyelocytes, and bands
*Absence of basophilia and eosinophilia
*Megakaryocitic hypeplasia
 
BM aspirates and biopsies show a myeloid hyperplasia (90% cellularity) where myeloblasts represent less than 5% of the cells. Erythro and megakaryopoiesis are typically normal, and dyspoiesis are not present in any cell lineage. Reticulin fibrosis is not significantly increased.CNL co-occurs with monoclonal gammopathy (MG) of undetermined significance in approximately 33% of the cases.2 This phenomenon has been reported in the literature with this subset of 12 patients presenting a MG associated with lambda light chain excess.6,7 However, it remains unclear whether the neutrophilic leukocytosis is a leukemoid response to the underlying MG, or if the presence of the two diseases represents a real entity.8 In cases where the BM shows a plasma cell dyscrasia, it is important to prove the neutrophilic clonality by cytogenetic and/or molecular tests.6
 
The bone marrow is hypercellular with marked myeloid hyperplasia.Myeloid to erythroid ratio is frequently more than 20:1.There is an increase in myelocytes, metamyelocytes and bands, but blasts or promyelocytes are not increased typically (figure 1C, D).Unlike CML, eosinophilia or basophilia are absent. Erythroid precursors are relatively reduced and show normal maturation. In general, megakaryocytes are normal in number and morphology.Some cases may show mild megakaryocytic hyperplasia.7 Significant dyspoiesis is not seen; if present, should prompt one to rule out atypical CML (aCML). Reticulin fibrosis is not observed. Rare cases of CNL have been reported to harbor clonal plasma cells in bone marrow. Bone marrow should be carefully examined for plasma cells, and appropriate immunohistochemical stains should be performed while diagnosing CNL.18 19 In cases where clonal plasma cells are detected, the diagnosis of CNL should be supported by molecular or cytogenetic studies to prove clonality.7
 
[Diagnostic study] may be helpful in the diagnosis of [disease name]. Findings suggestive of/diagnostic of [disease name] include [finding 1], [finding 2], and [finding 3].

Other diagnostic studies for [disease name] include [diagnostic study 1], which demonstrates [finding 1], [finding 2], and [finding 3], and [diagnostic study 2], which demonstrates [finding 1], [finding 2], and [finding 3].
