Lymphoid leukemias — also called lymphocytic, lymphogenous, or lymphoblastic leukemias — are a group of leukemias affecting circulating lymphocytes, a type of white blood cells. The lymphocytic leukemias are closely related to lymphomas of the lymphocytes, to the point that some of them are unitary disease entities that can be called by either name (for example, adult T-cell leukemia/lymphoma). Such diseases are all lymphoproliferative disorders. Most lymphoid leukemias involve a particular subtype of lymphocytes, the B cells.

Includes: {{discussion}} could someone have a look and make sure that none of the leukemias linked below are a synonym for one of the following? If they are not, please take out the discussion, if they are, please move the page as a link to the "excludes" above.  
 
*B-cell leukemia
*Classification:
*NK-cell leukemia
**Historically, they have been most commonly divided by the stage of maturation at which the clonal (neoplastic) lymphoid population stopped maturing:
***Acute lymphoblastic leukemia
***Chronic lymphocytic leukemia
**The influential WHO Classification (published in 2001) emphasized a greater emphasis on cell lineage. To this end, lymphoid leukemias can also be divided by the type of cells affected:
***B-cell leukemia
***T-cell leukemia
***NK-cell leukemia


*The most common type of lymphoid leukemia is B-cell chronic lymphocytic leukemia.
