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.
