ABSTRACT
This retrospective study carried out at the Cheikh Zayed Hospital Laboratory in Rabat explores Chronic Lymphoproliferative Syndromes (CLLS), a group of diseases characterized by excessive proliferation of lymphoid cells. Based on the analysis of 79 patients between 2020 and 2022, the study shows that multiple myeloma is the most common type of SLPC (95%), followed by chronic lymphocytic leukemia and hairy cell leukemia (2.5% each). The patients, mainly elderly (63.6 years on average), often present bone pain as their main symptom. The study highlights the importance of a multidisciplinary approach and advances in laboratory techniques to improve the diagnosis and monitoring of these diseases.
