  • Title: Chronic myeloid leukemia presenting with extramedullary disease as massive ascites responding to imatinib mesylate.
    Author: Aleem A, Siddiqui N.
    Journal: Leuk Lymphoma; 2005 Jul; 46(7):1097-9. PubMed ID: 16019565.
    Abstract:
    Patients with chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) can develop extramedullary involvement during the course of the illness. This usually occurs during the accelerated phase or blast crisis. We describe a patient who presented with massive ascites probably due to mesenteric/peritoneal infiltration during chronic phase CML. There was an excellent response to imatinib with a complete cytogenetic response and total disappearance of ascites.
