"Danielle" above is correct that the malignancy begins in the bone marrow and many of the malignant cells are concentrated there, but once a person has leukemia, the malignant cells circulate through every blood vessel, small and large, throughout the entire body; so the answers is that the malignant leukemia cells are everywhere in the body except the area of the human eye where there are no blood vessels.
