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.
Keywords: Myeloid Sarcoma, Chronic Myeloid Leukemia, Chronic Phase.
