Myeloid sarcoma may occur de novo in about one quarter of cases. Its detection should be considered as the equivalent of a diagnosis of AML. It may precede or coincide with AML or represent acute blastic transformation of MDS, MPN or MDS/MPN. Myeloid sarcoma may also be the initial manifestation of relapse in a patient with previously diagnosed AML, regardless of peripheral blood or bone marrow findings. In addition, isolated myeloid sarcoma occurs in 8-20% of patients who have undergone allogenic stem cell transplantation (reason still unclear), or in patients with simultaneously or previously treated non-Hodgkin lymphoma or a previous history of non-hematopoietic tumor (therapy-related)[1][2].

Sites of Involvement

Almost every site of the body can be involved, the skin, lymph node, gastro-intestinal tract, bone, soft tissue and testis being more frequently affected. In less than 10% of cases, myeloid sarcoma presents at multiple anatomical sites.

Morphologic Features

A myeloid sarcoma most commonly consists of myeloblasts with or without features of promyelocytic or neutrophilic maturation that partially or totally efface the tissue architecture. In a significant proportion of cases, it displays myelomonocytic or pure monoblastic morphology. Tumors with trilineage haematopoiesis or predominantly erythroid precursors or megakaryoblasts are rare and may occur in conjunction with transformation of MPN. Architecturally, at extranodal sites neoplastic cells may mimic metastatic carcinoma with cohesive sheets.

Immunophenotype

Finding Marker
Positive (universal) EXAMPLE CD1
Positive (subset) EXAMPLE CD2
Negative (universal) EXAMPLE CD3
Negative (subset) EXAMPLE CD4


editv4:Immunophenotype
The content below was from the old template. Please incorporate above.

On immunohistochemistry in paraffin sections, tumors with more mature myeloid profile express CD33, CD34, CD68 (KP1) and CKIT. Staining for terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase (TdT), MPO and CD45 are inconsistent.

About 16% of tumors stain for NPM1 at the nuclear and cytoplasmic level; this indicates the presence of NPM1 mutation.

Promyelocytic cases lack CD34 and TdT but express MPO and CD15.

Myelomonocytic tumors are homogeneneously positive for CD68 or CD163, but lack MPO and CD34.

Exceptionally, aberrant antigenic expressions are observed (cytokeratins, B- or T-cell markers).

Cases that meet criteria for mixed phenotype acute leukemia are not classified as myeloid sarcoma[2].

Please incorporate this section into the relevant tables found in:
  • Chromosomal Rearrangements (Gene Fusions)
  • Individual Region Genomic Gain/Loss/LOH
  • Characteristic Chromosomal Patterns
  • Gene Mutations (SNV/INDEL)

The clinical behavior and response to therapy seem not to be influenced by any of the following factors: age, sex, anatomical site(s) involved, de novo presentation, clinical history related to AML, MDS or MPN, histological features, immunophenotype or cytogenetic findings. Patients who undergo allogeneic or autologous bone marrow transplantation seem to have a higher probability of prolonged survival or cure. In one study the 5-year overall survival rate among 51 patients with myeloid sarcoma treated with allogenic bone marrow transplantation was 47%[3].

editv4:Gene Mutations (SNV/INDEL)
The content below was from the old template. Please incorporate above.

Some studies have reported genetic abnormalities in various AML-associated genes encoding tyrosine kinases (FLT3, KIT, and KRAS), tumor suppressors (WT1 and TP53), epigenetic modifiers (TET2 and ASXL1), spliceosome proteins (SF3B1 and SRSF2), and transcription factors (RUNX1). One study highlights that almost one-third of MS harbor a targetable mutation, in particular KIT D816V, IDH2 R140Q, and BRAF V600E. These mutations can also be found in non infiltrated bone marrows suggesting the existence of preleukemic clones in the bone marrow from MS patients[6][7][8].

NPM1 16% more common in cases involving the skin

FLT3-ITD 15%
