Résumé
Myeloid sarcoma, also known as granulocytic sarcoma or chloroma, is an extra-medullary accumulation of malignant myeloid blast cells, leading to a solid tumor formation. Herein, we report a rare presentation of a case with acute myeloid leukemia (AML), whose disease relapse was clinically evident as acute flaccid paraplegia with a certain sensory level. On thoracic spine magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), an epidural mass compressing the spinal cord at the level of the thoracic spine segment 4 (T4) was found. The mass histology confirmed the diagnosis of myeloid sarcoma.
