Key result
A patient with chronic myeloid leukemia presented with a rare intracardiac thrombus attached to the posterior mitral leaflet that resulted in peripheral embolization.
Why the study?
Although cardiovascular complications occur in chronic myeloid leukaemia, intracardiac thrombosis is rarely reported.
Case Report (n=1)
Intracardiac thrombosis can be a rare cardiovascular complication in patients with chronic myeloid leukemia.

CML may rarely present with intracardiac thrombus and embolization; extends the spectrum of reported cardiovascular complications but remains hypothesis-generating.
Chronic myeloid leukaemia (CML) is a neoplastic disorder of myeloid cell lines and is a less aggressive disease compared to acute myeloid leukemia (AML). Although cardiovascular complications are not uncommon, intracardiac thrombosis in CML is rarely reported. Herein, we report a case of CML presenting with an intracardiac thrombus attached to the posterior mitral leaflet, and subsequently resulting in peripheral embolization.
