Myeloid sarcoma (MS) represents a unique clinical presentation of acute myeloid leukemia (AML). This report describes a case of MS in a 66-year-old man who presented with dysphagia, nausea, vomiting, anorexia, and fatigue. Generalized lymphadenopathy was noted on physical exam and confirmed by CT scans which also showed diffuse esophageal wall thickening. Axillary lymph node biopsy was positive for MS. Bone marrow biopsy confirmed AML with 88% blasts. The patient received induction chemotherapy with decitabine and venetoclax and was planned for four cycles of treatment over three months while monitoring the response.
