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.

Abstract
Myeloid sarcoma is a rare clinical entity that presents as an isolated proliferation of leukemic cells, concurrently with or at relapse of acute myeloid leukemia (AML), myelodysplastic syndromes/neoplasms (MDS), chronic myeloid leukemia (CML), and myeloproliferative neoplasm (MPN). Myeloid sarcoma disrupts the normal architecture of its surrounding tissues. When it forms in long bones, it can cause their pathological fracture. We recently experienced a rare case of MDS presenting with myeloid sarcoma in the femur that eventually resulted in its pathological fracture. Detailed chromosomal analysis of the bone marrow cells suggested emergence of myeloid sarcoma during the fast-paced progression of MDS just after acquiring trisomy 22. A comprehensive review of previous cases of myeloid sarcoma-associated pathological fracture indicated possible involvement of structural rearrangements of chromosomes 9 and 22. Management of myeloid sarcoma should continue to improve, and clinicians should note that myeloid sarcoma with specific chromosomal alterations needs extra medical attention to prevent pathological fracture.
