The authors report the case of a chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) patient submitted to allogenic bone marrow transplantation, who had probably never entered complete remission. The disease was reactivated as a granulocytic sarcoma, next to a platinum plate installed to correct a tibia fracture 11 years earlier. Its final event was a myeloid Ph1+ blastic crisis that was unsuccessfully treated with high doses of sc interferon and citarabine. UNITERMS: Granulocytic sarcoma. Bone marrow transplantation. Chronic myeloid leukemia. Hypercalcemia
