Miniscrew-assisted rapid palatal expander

We present a case of a 19-month infant who was taken to the Emergency Department due to fever and a gingival lesion that did not respond to antibiotic treatment. An ultrasound study was requested to assess the presence of an abscess. However, a lesion was identified and after performing a biopsy, pathologist found it was a myeloid sarcoma. The patient was diagnosed with AML and chemotherapy treatment was started. After three cycles of treatment, the patient is currently free of disease.
