Abstract
We report on a rare manifestation of myeloid sarcoma with chronic myelogenous leukemia. The neoplasm arising from a rib showed osteolytic changes and infiltrated the surrounding muscles. We resected the lesion to relieve chest pain caused by pathologic rib fractures. The patient has continued receiving systemic therapy and is doing well as of 1 year postoperatively. Experience with a surgical approach for myeloid sarcoma is limited in thoracic surgery. The clinical course in our case suggests that surgical resection can be a valid choice of treatment.
