Myeloid sarcoma is a rare solid tumor consisting of leukemic myeloblasts and/or myeloid precursors occurring outside the blood or bone marrow. The unique site with myeloid sarcoma has been reported, the multiple sites of myeloid sarcoma have rarely been cited in the medical literature. Here we report that the unusual clinical presentation and management of myeloid sarcoma in multiple sites with PET-CT, highlighting the utility of PET-CT was useful in detecting and monitoring myeloid sarcoma. We also found that loss of TET2 and gain of 5 hmC in the case of myeloid sarcoma, indicating the mechanism for myeloid sarcoma is totally different with other hematopoietic malignancies.

Acute myeloid leukemia (AML) can be presented with extramedullary manifestations, more frequently involving skin and rarely other sites, such as the urinary tract. We report the case of a 37-year-old male patient with a history of testicular cancer who presented to the emergency department with cytopenias and hematuria. Bone marrow analysis diagnosed AML (French-American-British(FAB) classificationM4 subtype, karyotype showing inv16).

Background: Ewing's sarcoma (EwS), a common pediatric bone cancer, is associated with poor survival due to a lack of therapeutic targets for immunotherapy or targeted therapy. Therefore, more effective treatment options are urgently needed.

Methods: Since novel immunotherapies may address this need, we performed an integrative analysis involving single-cell RNA sequencing, cell function experiments, and humanized models to dissect the immunoregulatory interactions in EwS and identify strategies for optimizing immunotherapeutic efficacy.

We report a 37-year-old male patient who had nonbilious vomiting, no passage of flatus, and recurring abdominal pain. This patient had de novo intestinal myeloid sarcoma (MS), a rare and chameleonic presentation of acute leukemia of myeloid origin. The initial diagnostic evaluation suggested Koch's abdomen, and surgical excision of the bowel was performed with a clinical suspicion of Koch's or lymphoma.

Myeloid sarcoma (MS) is an extramedullary localization of immature granulocyte cells that can occur in association with acute myeloid leukemia (AML). Gastrointestinal involvement is relatively common in MS, but exclusive colonic localization is a rare occurrence. Here, we report on a 53-year-old male patient affected by AML developing a severe abdominal pain caused by intestinal perforation requiring surgical intervention.
