While each is relatively common in the elderly population, their simultaneous occurrence in a single patient is exceptionally rare and poses diagnostic and therapeutic challenges. We present the case of a 79-year-old male who was evaluated for progressive fatigue, weight loss, and marked leukocytosis. Laboratory investigations, peripheral blood smear, flow cytometry, and molecular studies were utilized to establish the diagnosis. Initial findings revealed extreme leukocytosis, anemia, and elevated LDH. Peripheral smear and molecular testing confirmed CML through detection of the <i>BCR::ABL1</i> fusion gene. Concurrently, flow cytometry identified a clonal B-cell population positive for CD5, CD19, and CD20, consistent with CLL. Imaging showed splenomegaly and pathologic lymphadenopathy. The patient was treated with imatinib and hydroxyurea, resulting in normalization of white blood cell count, though anemia and thrombocytopenia persisted. This case highlights a rare synchronous diagnosis of CML and CLL in an elderly patient. The comprehensive diagnostic evaluation was critical in establishing the dual pathology. The case underscores the need for heightened clinical suspicion in atypical presentations and contributes to the limited body of knowledge on coexistent myeloid and lymphoid malignancies.</p>","PeriodicalId":10327,"journal":{"name":"Clinical Case Reports","volume":"14 10","pages":"e73136"},"PeriodicalIF":0.6,"publicationDate":"2026-10-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC13655972/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"149179650","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

It carries a risk of inferior alveolar nerve (IAN) injury, which may result in altered or lost sensation of the lower lip, chin, teeth, and gingiva. Coronectomy, a surgical technique in which the crown is removed while the vital roots are retained, has been proposed to reduce this risk in cases with close root-nerve proximity. We report the case of a 41-year-old female patient in whom cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) revealed the IAN coursing between the roots of an MTM. Coronectomy was performed to preserve nerve integrity. Follow-up CBCT demonstrated significant migration of the retained root complex within 6-12 months, increasing the distance from the IAN. Five years later, infection associated with the retained roots required surgical root removal. Owing to the favorable migration of the root complex, extraction was completed without IAN injury. This case illustrates that, despite the possibility of late complications requiring reintervention, coronectomy may facilitate root migration away from the nerve and allow safer delayed root removal in anatomically high-risk situations. Careful patient selection, meticulous surgical technique, and long-term radiographic follow-up are essential. Further high-quality long-term studies are needed to standardize coronectomy protocols, evaluate complications, and assess cost-effectiveness compared with conventional extraction.</p>","PeriodicalId":10327,"journal":{"name":"Clinical Case Reports","volume":"14 10","pages":"e73673"},"PeriodicalIF":0.6,"publicationDate":"2026-10-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC13655660/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"149179694","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
