A 26‐year‐old man with erythroleukemia was found to have circulating micromegakaryocytes. Megakaryocytic features were defined by morphologic and cytochemical studies using light and electron microscopy with platelet‐megakaryocyte peroxidase staining. This appears to be the first reported instance of erythroleukemia with circulating micromegakaryocytes.
