Diagnosis was based on peripheral blood smear examination. Results: Out of 105 cases , 13 cases (12.38 %) were of Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemias, 33 cases (31.42 %) were of Acute Myeloblastic Leukemias, 44 cases (41.90%) were of Chronic Myeloid Leukemias, 15 cases (14.2%) are of Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia .
