    IntroductionChronic neutrophilic leukemia (CNL) is a rare myeloproliferative syndrome characterized by a significant increase in mature neutrophils. One of the most serious complications is the occurrence of bleeding events, which may sometimes lead to death.Case ReportA 75-year-old patient presented with CNL, complicated by a severe bleeding phenotype. Biological investigations revealed platelet function defect and increase in neutrophil elastase. The follow-up was marked by an intracranial hemorrhage leading to the patient's death 7 months after diagnosis.ConclusionThis bleeding phenotype has been reported several times in patients with CNL. However, the pathophysiological mechanisms that cause bleeding are not yet fully understood.Copyright © 2020. Published by Elsevier Masson SAS.
