An autopsy case of a 71‐year‐old man with atypical leukemia was reported. The interesting points in this case were the followings: (1) three clonal proliferations; granulocytic, monocytic, megakaryocytic; (2) abnormality of several kinds of blood cells; (3) phagocytosis of granular leucocytes within megakaryocytes; (4) elevation of anti‐EB virus antibody, and (5) detection of herpes‐type virus‐like particle in the nucleus of monocytoid cell in peripheral blood. Relationship between atypical leukemia and chronic myelomonocytic leukemia was also discussed.
