Extrahematologic manifestations, such as symptoms of rheumatic disease, have been recorded in association with myelodysplastic syndromes, including chronic myelomonocytic leukemia (CMML). We report the case of a 51‐year‐old woman with tumoral infiltration of the Achilles tendons bilaterally, indicating CMML. This diagnosis was confirmed at postmortem examination.
