Study Design: Cross-sectional Study Setting and duration: Pathology Department KEMU 20th January to 20th June 2016 Results: In this study 150 patients of CLL showed mean age of 65.8 +/- 1.5 years and male predominance. Splenomegaly and lymphadenopathy was present in more than 80% and 60% respectively. Maximum patients belonged to stage 2. The mean haemoglobin was 9.8 g/dI +/- 2.6With 26.67% +DAT. Thrombocytopenia was present in 71% and maximum patient presented in the TLC range of 50000-100000 x 10(9)/L Conclusions: CLL presents in older age group with male preponderance. Splenomegaly and lymphadenopathy are frequently present
