Overview

Chronic neutrophilic leukemia is an extremely rare disease. There are almost only 200 patients with CNL worldwide. The exact incidence of CNL is undetermined. The median age at diagnosis is 66.5 years and the incidence of disease increases with age. There is no racial predilection to CNL and it affects men and women almost equally.

The incidence of CNL increases with age; the median age at diagnosis is 66.5 years. ^[3]
