Article Abstract
Isolated sarcoma with features of mixed-phenotype acute leukemia (MPAL) is an extremely rare disease and it can be easily misdiagnosed as lymphoma or other malignancies. We herein report the case of a 61-year-old woman with non-leukemic sarcoma of the right pleura, pretracheal lymph node, and supraclavicular lymph node with features of MPAL, B/myeloid, not otherwise specified, which was first misdiagnosed as diffuse large B cell lymphoma. After performing a detailed re-examination of the biopsy specimens, few scattered eosinophilic myelocytes allowed us to reach a correct diagnosis of MPAL and the patient was thereafter successfully treated by intensified chemotherapy followed by cord blood transplantation.

Myeloid sarcoma (MS) represents a neoplastic proliferation characterized by immature myeloid precursor cells. Among its variants, aleukemic MS is an uncommon subtype, manifesting as skin involvement sparing the peripheral blood or bone marrow. The non-specific cutaneous presentation coupled with the lack of associated symptoms poses a diagnostic challenge for providers.

Introduction And Importance: Myeloid sarcoma (MS) is a rare tumour associated with acute myeloid leukaemia (AML) and occasionally occurs independently. It typically affects skin, bone, lymph nodes, and rarely the gastrointestinal tract, with gastric cases being extremely rare. Notably, no reported instances associate pseudoachalasia with gastric myeloid sarcoma.

Rationale: Myeloid sarcoma (MS) involves the proliferation of extramedullary blasts from 1 or more myeloid lineages, replacing the original tissue structures, and these neoplasias are called granulocytic sarcoma, chloroma, or extramedullary myeloid neoplasms. These tumors develop in lymphoid organs, bones, skin, soft tissues, various mucous membranes, organs, and the central nervous system. MS is rare in non-leukemic patients, while MS patient with effusion as the first manifestation is even rare.
