title: [Central nervous system and organ infiltration in the chronic phase of chronic myelogenous leukemia: a case report].
abstract: The case report presents a 35-year-old patient with neurological disorders caused by a solid tumour of the spinal cord and organ infiltration during the chronic phase of CML (chronic myelogenous leukemia). In spite of combined chemo- and radiotherapy, disease progression was only halted for a short time. Patient death occurred 5 months after disease diagnosis. Taking into consideration the non-typical disease course and few described case reports available in literature concerning solid tumours located in the CNS (central nervous system) with organ infiltration it appears noteworthy to discuss thoroughly the above case report.
