Clinical and cytogenetic findings are reported in a patient with pernicious anaemia and myeloblastic leukaemia. The bone marrow aspirate contained a pseudodiploid stem line, which was probably present in both the erythrocytic and granulocytic cell lines. The literature on leukaemia occurring subsequent to pernicious anaemia has been reviewed.
