Abstract
Chronic myelomonocytic leukemia (CMML) is a myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS) characterized by prominent monocytosis and an increase in bone marrow monoc yte precursors in addition to dyshaematopoietic features (1). Extrahaematol ogical manifestations including cutaneous, neurologic, and rheumatic sympto ms have been recorded in association with CMML. Here, we report the first o bservation of renal, adrenal and perirenal involvement in CMML which presen ted as a kidney tumor.
