Abstract: chronic lymphocytic leukemia; clonal haematopoiesis; composite lymphoma; mantle cell lymphoma Chronic lymphocytic leukaemia (CLL) is the most common adult leukaemia in the Western world, accounting for 25% of adult leukaemias.Morphologically, CLL cells are small with clumped chromatin and scant cytoplasm.Immunophenotypically, CLL cells are monotypic B cells that express CD5, CD19, CD20(dim), and CD23.Mantle cell lymphoma (MCL), accounting for 6% of all non-Hodgkin B-cell lymphomas (NHL), is usually associated with a more aggressive disease course compared with CLL.Morphologically, MCL cells are heterogeneous with a diffuse, nodular, or mantle zone growth pattern in the tissue or leukaemic phase.In some cases, MCL cells are pleomorphic or blastoid, while in
