Subdural intracranial myeloid sarcoma without myelogenous disorder: Case report

Abstract

We present the case of a 68 year old female who initially presented as an acute subdural hematoma but was found on further evaluation and biopsy to have subdural CNS myeloid sarcoma, without any underlying myelogenous disorder. CNS myeloid sarcoma is rare but even more so without the presence of hematologic disease, with very few cases reported in the literature for adult patients. In our review, this is the oldest patient in the literature to present with subdural myeloid sarcoma without hematologic disease. This case highlights the importance of thorough diagnostic work up and broad differentials even in seemingly routine cases with seemingly simple diagnoses.
