Abstractor Notes

Myeloid sarcoma may occur de novo; it may precede or coincide with AML, or represent acute blastic transformation of myelodysplastic syndromes. Myeloid sarcoma may also be the initial manifestation of relapse in a patient with previously diagnosed AML

If Myeloid Sarcoma occurs simultaneously or after an acute myeloid leukemia, see M3 and Module 5:PH10.

Diagnostic Confirmation

This histology can be determined by positive histology (including peripheral blood) with or without genetics and/or immunophenotyping. Review the Definitive Diagnostic Methods, Immunophenotyping and Genetics Data sections below, and the instructions in the Hematopoietic Manual for further guidance on assigning Diagnostic confirmation.
