Myeloid Sarcoma (MS) is a tumor mass consisting of myeloblast with or without maturation occurring at an anatomical site other than the bone marrow. Incidence of MS ranges from 1-9% and is most commonly misdiagnosed as Non Hodgkins Lymphoma or poorly differentiated carcinoma. MS can occur in various sites but nasal cavity involvement is rare. Here we report acaseof MS presenting as nasal polyp since 2 weeks in a 30 year old male patient who presented to Otolaryngology department of Father Muller Medical College Hospital, India in 2012. Patient was eventually found to have Acute Myeloid Leukemia (AML). This case highlights the importance of hematological and histological correlation coupled with Immunohistochemistry which is mandatory for the accurate diagnosis of this rare entity.

Abstract
Primary myeloid sacrom (MS) is a rare tumor and even more rare in multiple organs with no evidence of bone marrow involvement. This report describes an unusual case of a 19-year-old male presenting scrotal MS with a history of subconjunctival MS, 5 months ago. Bone marrow biopsies showed no evidence ...

Primary myeloid sacrom (MS) is a rare tumor and even more rare in multiple organs with no evidence of bone marrow involvement. This report describes an unusual case of a 19-year-old male presenting scrotal MS with a history of subconjunctival MS, 5 months ago. Bone marrow biopsies showed no evidence of acute leukemia. Despite radiotherapy for first involvement and chemotherapy for second presentation, his condition deteriorated and he unfortunately died. This case is presented here to remind an unusual presentation of MS and to address that the pathologist should bear in mind the possibility of MS when making the differential diagnosis of unusual lymphoma or undifferentiated nonhematological tumors.
