Myeloid Sarcoma: Presentation, Diagnosis and Treatment

Myeloid sarcoma is an extramedullary tumour of immature granulytic cells. It is a rare condition, most often associated with acute myeloid leukaemia although in some rare cases it may present in non-leukaemic patients. It should therefore be considered as a differential diagnosis of any atypical cellular infiltrate. It may occur at any site leading to very varied clinical presentations. Diagnosis is challenging and relies on a high index of suspicion as well as radiology, histology, immunophenotyping and molecular analyses, which are also essential for risk stratification and treatment planning.
