Abstract: Granulocytic sarcoma (chloroma), as an initial presentation of CML (chronic phase) in a teenager is a very unusual and rare presentation. Granulocytic sarcomas are rare malignant extra-medullary tumour of primitive granulocytic cells that usually occurs in acute myeloid leukemia or blast phase of chronic myeloid leukemia (CML). We report a case of CML in chronic phase, presenting initially as multiple subcutaneous granulocytic sarcoma in a teenager, who landed in the orthopedic department, for complaints of pain and multiple swelling in both the legs for a short duration.
