Abstract
Abstract
Myeloid sarcoma is a neoplastic mass formed by the infiltration of primitive or immature myeloid cells into organs and tissues outside the bone marrow. It may occur before, at the same time, or manifest as the recurrence of acute myeloid leukemia, myelodysplastic syndromes, and chronic myeloproliferative syndromes. It may involve any organ or tissue, including skin, soft tissue, lymph nodes, and gastrointestinal tract and bone. Isolated humerus involvement is extremely rare. Herein, we present the FDG PET/CT findings of a rare case of isolate myeloid sarcoma in the right humerus, which showed only increased bone density with moderate FDG uptake.
