Abstract
Myeloid sarcoma (MS), also known as extramedullary acute myeloid leukemia, extramedullary myeloid tumor, and granulocytic sarcoma, myeloblastoma or chloroma, is a rare manifestation which is characterized by the occurrence of 1 or more tumor myeloid masses occurring at an extramedullary site. We are reporting a rare case of monoblastic sarcoma in a 50 year male patient without history of acute myeloid leukemia with involvement of paraspinal region, abdominal wall and tongue, who presented with acute paraparesis. The patient was treated with decompression laminectomy followed by Radiotherapy. After confirming diagnosis of monoblastic sarcoma, patient was treated with acute myeloid leukemia chemotherapy regimen to control systemic disease, but outcome was poor.
