An association between Gaucher's disease and haematopoietic neoplasias has been reported in only a few instances. The authors recently encountered 2 cases of adult Gaucher's disease that developed acute myelogencrus/myelomonocytic leukaemia. Both individuals had a pre‐leukaemic phase. These cases are reported.
