The case of a 63-year-old woman is presented who developed 18 years after undergoing allogenic bone marrow transplantation for chronic myeloid leukaemia a granulocytic sarcoma localised in the presacral region. Complete radiologic remission was obtained with the administration of imatinib. She developed a metachron granulocytic sarcoma in the right frontal region associated to leptomeningeal infiltration. Complete clinical and near complete radiological remission was obtained with the administration of nilotinib. The patient was finally lost of progression of the frontal and meningeal localisations 45 months after the presentation of the first presacral lesion. Throughout the follow-up no sign of systemic leukaemia was detected.

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.
