Isolated Myeloid Sarcoma: A Diagnostic Dilemma

Myeloid sarcoma (MS)/granulocytic sarcoma/myeloblastoma/chloroma is a rare extramedullary proliferation of blast cells of one or more myeloid lineages along with the destruction of the normal architecture of adjacent tissue. Isolated MS is a rare entity with an incidence of 0.7 out of 1 million chil...

Sumario:Myeloid sarcoma (MS)/granulocytic sarcoma/myeloblastoma/chloroma is a rare extramedullary proliferation of blast cells of one or more myeloid lineages along with the destruction of the normal architecture of adjacent tissue. Isolated MS is a rare entity with an incidence of 0.7 out of 1 million children and 2 out of 1 million adults. Varied clinical presentation, the rarity of the diagnosis, inadequate immunophenotyping, and lack of available literature makes the disease difficult to manage. Here, we report a case of MS in a 44-year-old male with an initial presentation of testicular mass without bone marrow involvement, causing diagnostic challenges. In this case report, we discuss the pathogenesis, diagnostic challenges, and therapeutic options of MS.
