Gastric Myeloid Sarcoma

Most gastric cancers are adenocarcinomas, but other malignancies can arise in the stomach. Patients with leukemia may develop myeloid sarcoma (MS) in the gastrointestinal tract.

Sumario:Most gastric cancers are adenocarcinomas, but other malignancies can arise in the stomach. Patients with leukemia may develop myeloid sarcoma (MS) in the gastrointestinal tract. Our patient was a 68-year-old woman who was initially diagnosed with acute myeloid leukemia and underwent a matched unrelated stem cell transplantation. She was in remission for 10 years before developing a rare case of gastric MS without acute myeloid leukemia. She had partial response to chemotherapy but ultimately died because of infection. Gastric MS has an incidence of less than 1%. Gastrointestinal involvement usually involves the small intestine and rarely the stomach.
