Abstract

The aim of this study was to describe the presenting features, the frequency and outcome of myeloid sarcoma (MS) diagnosed in our Institution from January 1995 to December 2000. Twelve MS were seen and the frequency account for only 2% of all acute myeloid leukemia (AML) patients observed in our department in the same period. Median age was 45 years (range: 4-84). All had been initially misdiagnosed as malignant lymphoma (ML) and a median of 2.9 months (range: 1-6) elapsed between the misdiagnosis and the correct of MS, effectuated in our department. At that time, a bone marrow examination revealed a myelodysplastic condition in seven patients, an infiltration by blast cells >30% in two patients, and normal features in the other three. In the non-leukemic patients a median of 5 months (range: 2-44 months) elapsed between the diagnosis of MS and acute leukemia. In all, 10 patients received intensive treatment. A total of seven patients (70%) achieved MS complete remission (CR). Patients who presented isolated skin localization and received only radiotherapy, obtained a MS-CR, but subsequently developed AML. Only in patients who were treated within 4 months from the initial ML diagnosis we achieved complete remission of both MS a...Continue Reading

Acute Myeloid Leukemia

Acute myeloid leukemia (AML) is a clinically and genetically heterogeneous disease with approximately 20,000 cases per year in the United States. AML also accounts for 15-20% of all childhood acute leukemias, while it is responsible for more than half of the leukemic deaths in these patients. Here is the latest research on this disease.
