Abstract :

 A 10 year (8 years retrospective and 2 year prospective ) study  of leukemias  was done  in Department of Pathology, Govt. Medical college, Jammu  . The aim was to study the pattern and spectrum of leukemias. A total of 600 cases of haematological malignancies which were diagnosed during the study period by means of available haematological laboratory methods and histological examinations were analysed. Out OF 600 cases ,Leukemias cases were 512 in no.The distribution of various haematological malignancies recorded were : ALL(36.7%), AML( 29.7%), CLL (7.3% ), CML(11.7% ). Male patients were more as compared to female.The age range was different for various types of leukemias . ALL was commonly seen in children ,AML and CML cases were more common in adults with lesser cases in children.CLL cases were not seen in children and patients <30 years age .These were common in older patients. The distribution pattern of various  leukemias  were comparable to other Indian as well as asian studies but different from western studies. Difference may be attributed to late presentation, poverty, poor health care system and accessibility to the patient.
