Abstract
Remarks on Myeloid Sarcoma in Children
Highlights
Extramedullary infiltrations (EIs) of the soft tissue, known as myelosarcoma (MS) or granulocytic sarcoma (GS), occur in approximately 4% to 5% of children with acute myeloid leukemia (AML) in western countries [2]
Some researchers in Turkey reported that there was a connection between AML and EI in several retrospective analyses of patients as well as in some case reports [8,9,10]
Çavdar et al [7] analyzed 33 patients presenting with Orbital granulocytic sarcoma (OGS) characterized by exophthalmos, proptosis, chemosis, and orbital masses (Figure 1)
Summary
Extramedullary infiltrations (EIs) of the soft tissue, known as myelosarcoma (MS) or granulocytic sarcoma (GS), occur in approximately 4% to 5% of children with acute myeloid leukemia (AML) in western countries [2]. Orbital granulocytic sarcoma (OGS) was first reported in 1971 by Çavdar et al [7] from Turkey. Some researchers in Turkey reported that there was a connection between AML and EI in several retrospective analyses of patients as well as in some case reports [8,9,10]. Çavdar et al [7] analyzed 33 patients presenting with OGS characterized by exophthalmos, proptosis, chemosis, and orbital masses (Figure 1).
