Myeloid sarcoma as a simulator of advanced ovarian cancer: A case report

Bilateral adnexal masses: A case report of acute myeloid leukemia presenting with myeloid sarcoma of the ovary and review of literature

“…First-line treatment for ovarian MS is total hysterectomy and bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy with systemic induction chemotherapy, as surgical excision does not necessarily delay the spread of the disease ( Ding et al, 2015 ) ( Almond et al, 2017 , Capote et al, 2018 , Peloquin et al, 2013 , Wang et al, 2017 ). There is a paucity of literature and no significant prospective data reporting the survival and prognosis of patients with MS, given its rarity ( Almond et al, 2017 ).…”

Acute Myeloid Leukemia Presenting as Myeloid Sarcoma with a Predisposition to the Gynecologic Tract

“…The most common reason cited for misdiagnoses has been inadequate immunophenotyping of the MS lesion [15]. Immunohistochemical staining is important in the correct diagnosis, as MS lesions express both myeloid and monocytoid antigens including CD45, CD43, and CD15 [16].…”

“…There has been scarce literature investigating the survival and prognosis of patients with MS. First-line treatment usually involves systemic induction chemotherapy as surgical excision does not delay spread of disease or improve prognosis [16,17]. There have also been case reports that suggest that a robust inflammatory response following a surgical procedure could worsen MS or lead to a postoperative persistent febrile syndrome [18].…”
