[Transformation of Waldenström disease into chronic myeloid leukemia].
The authors describe a case of a 83 years old patient affected with Waldenström disease whose shift in chronic myelogenous leukaemia is surprising because the quickness of the fact and, even more, because the following very fast appearance of quickly fatal paravertebral granulocytic sarcoma, as extramedullary blast crisis expression. This feature appears unusual in old subject.
