Acute Myeloid Leukaemia complicated by myeloid sarcoma presenting as acute flaccid paralysis

摘要

Myeloid sarcoma (MS) is a rare soft tissue tumour. Its presentation can vary from an isolated extra medullary leukaemic tumour, concurrently with or at relapse of acute myeloid leukaemia (AML) (1). The clinical presentation of MS varies according to the site of involvement. Common sites include sub-periosteum of skull, paranasal sinuses, sternum, ribs, vertebrae and pelvis. Lymph nodes and skin are also common sites. We report a case of MS in a sixteen year old girl presenting with acute flaccid paraparesis due to cord compression.
