“…Isolated MS refers to the occurrence of MS in the absence of any medical history of blood pathology at the onset of the disease. The lesion simply manifests as an extramedullary mass, which does not develop into AML within 30 d. This type of MS is very rare[ 7 ] and accounts for only 2%-14% of all AML cases[ 8 ]. Since isolated MS does not have a specific clinical manifestation, approximately 75%-86% of patients with this disease are misdiagnosed during the initial diagnosis[ 9 ].…”

Myeloid sarcoma (MS) is a type of extramedullary solid haematological tumour. Myeloid sarcoma is classified into two types based on whether onset of the disease is complicated by haematologic diseases: extramedullary infiltration of leukaemia (leukaemic MS) and isolated myeloid sarcoma. The incidence of isolated myeloid sarcoma is low. In particular, isolated myeloid sarcoma involving the pancreas is extremely rare and prone to misdiagnosis. This case report describes the long and eventful diagnostic process of a case of myeloid sarcoma involving the pancreas and orbit. Due to a lack of typical clinical manifestations and imaging characteristics, the patient underwent several rounds of treatment without a confirmed diagnosis. Eventually, the final diagnosis was pathologically confirmed using several types of biopsies and immunohistochemical detection. To date, this type of disease has not been reported in the literature. This case report describes the detailed diagnostic process and discusses the strategies used for diagnosis, which will facilitate the diagnosis of such diseases in the future.

The first consisted of a 41-year old man who was admitted in the polyvalent surgeon unit for an enlarged testicle. He underwent left orchiectomy. He did not come back for his regular visit 8 months later. The second patient was a young man of 21 years who was seeking care for an increase of his left testicle seen eight months before. He underwent left orchiectomy and according to the histopathologic evaluation, he had a testicular spindle cells sarcoma. Three months after surgery, the patient showed an alteration of his general state while liver metastases and left hydronephrosis were observed. Chemotherapy with vincristin and cisplatin was initiated. Complete remission was seen after three cycles of chemotherapy, with the disappearance of liver metastases and the restoration of a good general health status until 28 months after surgery in 30 June 2008.
