Question: Did rudolf ludwig karl virchow discover leukemia?
Answers:
The first to describe the anatomy/cytology of leukemia was John Benett, but he believed that pus (with normal white blood cells) was forming inside the blood stream. Virchow was the first to suggest that leukemia was a disease of the blood cells themselves, so it is correct to say, that he discovered the of leukemia.
