Myeloid sarcoma (MS) represents a rare disease with an adverse clinical outcome for patients not candidate to acute myeloid leukemia (AML)-like chemotherapies. Here we present the case of an elderly patient affected by a bilateral breast localization of MS treated with the hypomethylating agent decitabine associated to radiotherapy. The association of the two treatment modalities has allowed an optimal and long-lasting disease control.
髓系肉瘤(MS)是一种罕见疾病,对于不适合接受急性髓系白血病(AML)样化疗的患者而言,其临床预后较差。在此,我们报告一例老年患者,其双侧乳腺均出现髓系肉瘤,采用去甲基化药物地西他滨联合放疗进行治疗。这两种治疗方式的联合应用实现了对疾病的最佳长期控制。
