MYELOID SARCOMA AS THE PRESENTING SYMPTOM OF CHRONIC MYELOID LEUKEMIA CHRONIC PHASE: A CASE REPORT
Journal Title: World Journal of Pharmaceutical Research - Year 2017, Vol 6, Issue 10
Abstract
Myeloid sarcoma is an extramedullary tumor of immature granulocytic cells. It is a rare condition; most often associated with acute myeloid leukemia but can be associated with myeloproliferative neoplasms or myelodysplastic disorders. The more frequent sites of involvement are skin, lymph nodes, gastrointestinal tract, bone, soft tissue and testis. We described a 30 years old female patient with myeloid sarcoma presented as mass in right elbow that ultimately was found to have chronic myeloid leukemia in chronic phase.
