Although there have been reports of CML cases accompanied by several rheumatic diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis, Behcet’s disease, systemic sclerosis, or undifferentiated spondylopathy, no studies have reported a case of CML with AS. We experienced a 50-year-old male patient who presented with buttock and low back pain and was diagnosed with both AS and CML. Magnetic resonance imaging showed sacroiliitis along with abnormal marrow infiltration, and a bone marrow biopsy confirmed the CML diagnosis.

Spinal changes associated with spondyloarthropathy are florid anterior spondylitis (or Romanus lesion), florid diskitis (Anderson lesion), ankylosis, and arthritis of the apophyseal and costovertebral joints.
