Abstract
Myeloid sarcoma is a rare extramedullary tumor of immature myeloid cells. Certain known acute myeloid leukemia cytogenetic abnormalities, in particular t(8,21), has been associated with a higher incidence. Myeloid sarcoma, which rarely happens in acute promyelocytic leukemias, is more common in recurrent patients after the advent of all-trans retinoic acid (ATRA) and are rare in untreated acute promyelocytic leukemia. We described a case of, to our knowledge, de novo myeloid sarcoma of the spine confirmed as acute promyelocytic leukemia. Myeloid sarcoma is diagnosed by spinal tumor biopsy, and microscopic examination of a bone marrow smear and cytogenetic analysis led to a confirmed diagnosis of acute promyelocytic leukemia.
