Breast manifestation of extramedullary myeloid sarcoma: A case report

Extramedullary myeloid sarcoma (MS) of the breast is a rare disease, representing 0.12% of all diagnoses of acute myeloid leukemia. We review a case of a 27-year-old female who presented with a palpable right breast mass. She subsequently underwent a biopsy, which showed breast tissue with diffuse i...

description Extramedullary myeloid sarcoma (MS) of the breast is a rare disease, representing 0.12% of all diagnoses of acute myeloid leukemia. We review a case of a 27-year-old female who presented with a palpable right breast mass. She subsequently underwent a biopsy, which showed breast tissue with diffuse infiltrate of blasts compatible with MS. A bone marrow biopsy was performed with no evidence of leukemia or lymphoma. Therefore, a second breast biopsy was obtained for additional testing and cytogenetics which demonstrated positive (t8;21)(q22;q22) translocation associated with acute myeloid leukemia. Patient was admitted for induction of chemotherapy, but she subsequently developed neutropenic colitis and C. diff colitis. Unfortunately, her condition quickly deteriorated, and she passed away shortly after. This report aims to describe the clinical, radiographic, and pathological features of a case of extramedullary MS involving the breast.
