[The clinico-morphological characteristics of myeloid leukemias under the current ecological conditions in Ukraine].

Results are submitted of examination of 93 bone marrow trepanobiopsies from iliac bone of patients with acute and chronic leukemia they developed during 1993-1996. Some aspects are considered of haemopoiesis and stromal elements together with morphological features of the medical problem in question in present-day environmental health-hazard conditions. With AML and CML running aggressive course, the incidence rates of granulocytic and megakaryocytic CML being on the increase, the outlook for tomorrow is not bright. All this (emergence of tissue optically dense "dark impregnations" are also worthy of mention in this context) is deemed to bear relation to adverse ecological conditions nowadays.
