  • 1. Guro Hospital, Korea University College of Medicine, Seoul (Korea, Republic of)

Description

Myeloid sarcoma manifesting as multiple lymphadenopathy is quite rare. We present here a case of myeloid sarcoma that first presented with palpable bilateral neck masses. A 53-year-old woman complained about repetitive swelling in the right infraauricular and submental areas for 3 years. The results of computed tomography showed multiple lymphadenopathy in both areas of the neck as well as other parts of the body. So, the presumptive diagnosis was lymphoma, but the result of the excisional biopsy of the neck mass confirmed it to be a myeloid sarcoma
