Myeloid sarcoma as the presenting symptom of chronic myelogenous leukemia blast crisis.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Myeloid sarcoma is an extramedullary tumor composed of immature myeloid cells that efface the underlying tissue architecture. It is usually associated with acute myelogenous leukemia, but can be associated with myeloproliferative neoplasms, myelodysplastic disorders, or myeloproliferative/ myelodysplastic syndromes. If it is unrecognized, appropriate chemotherapy may be delayed and survival jeopardized. We present a case of a myeloid sarcoma presenting in an otherwise asymptomatic patient who ultimately was found to have chronic myelogenous leukemia, presenting in blast crisis. We also review the distinct clinical and pathologic features of myeloid sarcoma, as well as treatment of the disease.

متن کاملExtramedullary blast crisis of chronic myelogenous leukemia as an initial presentation☆
Extramedullary blast crisis of chronic myelogenous leukemia (CML) is defined as the development of extramedullary disease caused by the infiltration of blasts regardless of proliferation of blasts in the bone marrow. The onset of extramedullary blast crisis in the newly diagnosed patients is known to be extremely rare. Here, we present a case of extramedullary blast crisis of CML as an initial ...
متن کامل“Chronic myelogenous leukemia in primary blast crisis” rather than “de novo BCR‐ABL1‐positive acute myeloid leukemia”
Differentiating chronic myelogenous leukemia in primary blast crisis (CML-BC) from de novo BCR-ABL1-positive acute myeloid leukemia (AML) is a diagnostic challenge with therapeutic consequences. In our case, a basophilia, the presence of the Philadelphia chromosome in all metaphases and the strict exclusion of molecular hallmarks of AML lead us to retain the diagnosis of CML-BC rather than BCR-...

Myeloid sarcoma, considered to herald the onset of a blast crisis in the setting of chronic myeloproliferative neoplasm/dysplasia, typically presents during the course of the disorder. Cutaneous involvement is uncommon and lesions on genital skin are seldom seen. We present a case of a well-differentiated myeloid sarcoma in the penile foreskin in an apparently healthy 29-year-old male presentin...
