Myeloid Sarcoma İnvolving the Testicular Vein

Testicular myeloid sarcoma: case report

Myeloid sarcomas are extramedullary solid tumors composed of immature granulocytic precursor cells. In association with acute myeloid leukemia and other myeloproliferative disorders, they may arise concurrently with compromised bone marrow related to acute myeloid leukemia, as a relapsed presentation, or occur as the first manifestation. The testicles are considered to be an uncommon site for m...

Myeloid sarcoma involving the breast.

Myeloid sarcoma is a tumor mass with extramedullary growth pattern, composed of myeloblasts or immature myeloid cells. The development of myeloid sarcoma may precede or concur with acute or chronic myeloid leukemia (AML or CML) or other myeloproliferative diseases or myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS). Isolated myeloid sarcoma of the breast is very rare. A case is presented of a 25-year-old, previ...

Relapse of acute myeloid leukemia as isolated bilateral testicular granulocytic sarcoma in an adult.

Received April 2007 Accepted September 2007 INTRODUCTION Acute myeloid leukemia (AML) is a malignant hematologic disease characterized by bone marrow infiltration with leukemic (blast) cells. Infiltration of extramedullary organs by these cells is called granulocytic sarcoma (GS). Relapsed AML with isolated testicular GS without bone marrow involvement is very rare and only a few cases have bee...

Temporal bone myeloid sarcoma.

A 69-year-old male previously diagnosed with acute myeloblastic leukemia secondary to myelodysplastic syndrome (LMA with dysplasia, karyotype 46XY, and no cytogenetics abnormalities) refractory to treatment (hydroxyurea, cytarabine, mitoxantrone, and azacitidine) presented with right-side otalgia, otorrhea, and deafness with 2 months progression.
