A case of granulocytic sarcoma of the distal third of the right femur was reported as an initial form of presentation of a chronic myeloid leukaemia. The symptoms, physical examination, radiological and hematological findings, the anatomopathological results and the behaviour that was followed were approached. As it was an unusual case, emphasis was made on the diagnostic confusions that could occur.
