==Epidemiology / Prevalence==
 
CLL is the most common leukemia in the Western world with an annual incidence of approximately 5/100,000, comprising 25% to 30% of all leukemias in the United States. The incidence increases with age with a median age at diagnosis of 70 years. CLL can also present in younger individuals with approximately 10% of cases diagnosed in individuals less than 55 years of age<ref>{{Cite journal|last=Parikh|first=Sameer A.|last2=Rabe|first2=Kari G.|last3=Kay|first3=Neil E.|last4=Call|first4=Timothy G.|last5=Ding|first5=Wei|last6=Schwager|first6=Susan M.|last7=Bowen|first7=Deborah A.|last8=Conte|first8=Michael|last9=Jelinek|first9=Diane F.|date=2014-01|title=Chronic lymphocytic leukemia in young (≤ 55 years) patients: a comprehensive analysis of prognostic factors and outcomes|url=https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/23911703|journal=Haematologica|volume=99|issue=1|pages=140–147|doi=10.3324/haematol.2013.086066|issn=1592-8721|pmc=4007929|pmid=23911703}}</ref>.

==Clinical Features==
 
Most (90%) patients with CLL are asymptomatic and are diagnosed based on routine blood tests<ref name=":1" />. Only 5-10% of patients with CLL present with symptoms of fever, weight loss, night sweats, and/or fatigue<ref name=":0" />.

==Sites of Involvement==
CLL/SLL involves the blood, bone marrow, and secondary lymphoid tissues such as the spleen, lymph nodes, and Waldeyer ring. Extranodal involvement (e.g. of the skin, gastrointestinal tract, or CNS) occurs in a small subset of cases<ref>{{Cite journal|last=M|first=Ratterman|last2=K|first2=Kruczek|last3=S|first3=Sulo|last4=Td|first4=Shanafelt|last5=Ne|first5=Kay|last6=C|first6=Nabhan|date=2014|title=Extramedullary chronic lymphocytic leukemia: systematic analysis of cases reported between 1975 and 2012|url=https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/24064196/|language=en|pmid=24064196}}</ref>.
 
==Morphologic Features==
 
'''Lymph Nodes:''' Enlarged lymph nodes show diffuse architectural effacement by a proliferation of small lymphocytes with variably prominent scattered paler proliferation centers (pseudofollicles)<ref>Lennert K, editor. (1978). Malignant lymphomas other than Hodgkin’s disease. NewYork: Springer Verlag.</ref>. The predominant cell in the diffuse areas is a '''''typical CLL cell''''' (small lymphocyte with scant cytoplasm, and clumped chromatin). Proliferation centers are composed of small lymphocytes, prolymphocytes, and paraimmunoblasts. Mitotic activity is usually very low.
 
'''Bone Marrow:''' Biopsy may show interstitial, nodular, mixed (nodular and interstitial), or diffuse involvement. Diffuse involvement is usually associated with more advanced disease<ref>{{Cite journal|last=E|first=Montserrat|last2=N|first2=Villamor|last3=Jc|first3=Reverter|last4=Rm|first4=Brugués|last5=D|first5=Tàssies|last6=F|first6=Bosch|last7=Jl|first7=Aguilar|last8=Jl|first8=Vives-Corrons|last9=M|first9=Rozman|date=1996|title=Bone marrow assessment in B-cell chronic lymphocytic leukaemia: aspirate or biopsy? A comparative study in 258 patients|url=https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/8611442/|language=en|pmid=8611442}}</ref>. Paratrabecular aggregates are not typical. Proliferation centers can be observed, although they are not as prominent as in lymph nodes, and follicular dendritic cells may be present<ref>{{Cite journal|last=M|first=Chilosi|last2=G|first2=Pizzolo|last3=F|first3=Caligaris-Cappio|last4=A|first4=Ambrosetti|last5=F|first5=Vinante|last6=L|first6=Morittu|last7=F|first7=Bonetti|last8=L|first8=Fiore-Donati|last9=G|first9=Janossy|date=1985|title=Immunohistochemical demonstration of follicular dendritic cells in bone marrow involvement of B-cell chronic lymphocytic leukemia|url=https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/3891066/|language=en|pmid=3891066}}</ref>. Most cases have > 30% CLL cells in the bone marrow aspirate<ref name=":2" />.
 
'''Peripheral Blood''': Smudge or basket cells are typically observed. In most cases, besides typical CLL cells, other lymphoid cells like prolymphocytes are also observed, but they usually constitute < 15% of the lymphoid cells.
 
==Immunophenotype==
CLL cells express CD19, CD20, CD5, CD23, CD43, CD200, and LEF1<ref>{{Cite journal|last=Dorfman|first=David M.|last2=Shahsafaei|first2=Aliakbar|date=2010-11|title=CD200 (OX-2 membrane glycoprotein) expression in b cell-derived neoplasms|url=https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/20959655|journal=American Journal of Clinical Pathology|volume=134|issue=5|pages=726–733|doi=10.1309/AJCP38XRRUGSQOVC|issn=1943-7722|pmid=20959655}}</ref><ref>{{Cite journal|last=Matutes|first=E.|last2=Owusu-Ankomah|first2=K.|last3=Morilla|first3=R.|last4=Garcia Marco|first4=J.|last5=Houlihan|first5=A.|last6=Que|first6=T.
