Article Synopsis
  • * Imaging revealed a mass in the right cerebellum, and subsequent surgical resection showed the tumor's characteristics included small round cells and signs of macrophage invasion, highlighting its connection to the AML.
  • * The case emphasizes the importance of considering intracranial myeloid sarcoma in patients with a history of hematological cancers like AML, despite challenges in differentiating tumor types through imaging.

Background: Myeloid sarcoma is a rare malignant hematopoietic neoplasm that arises at extramedullary sites. Although myeloid sarcoma may involve any organ, central nervous system (CNS) involvement is exceptionally rare. To date, few case reports and case series have described CNS myeloid sarcoma, the majority of which include peripheral disease.

Objective: Intracranial myeloid sarcomas (IMS) are rare central nervous system manifestations of malignant hematopoietic neoplasms of myeloid origin such as acute myeloid leukemia and chronic myeloid leukemia. Reported cases in the literature are limited to primarily case reports. We present a systematic review of this rare central nervous system tumor, characterizing the clinical presentation, tumor location, histopathology, and available treatment modalities.

Myeloid sarcoma (MS) or granulocytic sarcoma is a rare tumor consisting of myeloid blasts with or without maturation occurring at anatomic sites other than the bone marrow. MS can involve any organ system but shows a predilection for skin, bone, and soft tissues of head and neck region. We report four cases of MS occurring at unusual sites, out of which three were de novo and one was associated with acute myeloid leukemia (AML).
