Chronic myelomonocytic leukemia (CMML) is a form of leukemia featuring monocytosis.[1]

The categorization of this disease has been controversial. Patients with CMML can present with various different clinical features, mimicking either myelodysplastic syndroms or myeloproliferative neoplasms depending upon a patient's specific presentation. Due to this controversy it was classified by the World Health Organization in a "myelodysplastic/myeloproliferative" category of medical conditions in the early 2000s.[2][3]

Some clinicians distinguish between myelodysplastic and myeloproliferative forms of CMML.[4]
