Case presentation. A 40 years old male came into hospital with malaise, abdominal pain, nausea, and vomiting. Furthermore there were bilateral lymphadenopathy in the neck, hepatomegaly and moderate splenomegaly in abdominal examination. Anemia, leukocytosis and increase of Lactat Dehydrogenase (LDH) were found. Bone marrow aspiration and biopsy was performed and showed predominant neutrophil and the bone marrow biopsy showed hypercellular bone marrow with increased myeloid-neutrophil, increased myeloid erythroid ratio.
