ABSTRACT
Chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) is classified as a myeloproliferative neoplasm with an elevated granulocyte cell line. It is traditionally characterized by a three-phase progression (chronic, accelerated, and blast phases). CML can be asymptomatic and is typically detected during routine blood tests. Alternatively, it may manifest with symptoms related to anemia and splenomegaly. Retinal abnormalities as an initial presentation in CML patients are infrequent. Here, we report a case of a 40-year-old man with a non-medical history who presented retinal involvement as an initial manifestation.
