An unusual case of chronic myelocytic leukemia characterized by a conspicuous tissue infiltration treated with leukapheresis.

Abstract
An unusual case of chronic myelocytic leukemia (CML) is described that presented leukocytosis at onset (720 X 10(9)/l), symptoms of stasis, organomegaly, and a conspicuous infiltration of leukemic cells from the pelvis to the right popliteal cavity. As initial therapy and in addition to chemotherapy, six therapeutic leukapheresis treatments (TL) were performed and the patient showed dramatic symptomatic improvement with reduction in leukocytosis (97 X 10(9)/l), organomegaly, and tissue infiltration.
