Myeloid sarcomas are rare extramedullary tumors composed of immature myeloid cells. Most cases are seen in childhood acute myelogenous leukemia (AML). They can develop at many sites, but cardiac involvement is a rare finding. We report the case of a 24-year-old woman who, after being in remission from AML for 10 years, developed an isolated cardiac myeloid sarcoma.
髓系肉瘤是由未成熟髓系细胞组成的罕见髓外肿瘤。大多数病例见于儿童急性髓系白血病(AML)。它们可发生于多个部位,但心脏受累是罕见表现。我们报告一例24岁女性病例,该患者在AML缓解10年后,发生了孤立性心脏髓系肉瘤。
