Abstract EN
Myeloid sarcoma, a rare consequence of myeloproliferative disorders, is rarely seen in the central nervous system, most commonly in the pediatric population.
Although there are a handful of case reports detailing initial presentation of CNS myeloid sarcoma in the adult population, we have been unable to find any reports of CNS myeloid sarcoma presenting as a large mass lesion in a herniating patient.
Here, we present the case of a patient transferred to our facility for a very large subdural hematoma.
Based on imaging characteristics, it was felt to be a spontaneous hematoma secondary to coagulopathy.
No coagulopathy was found.
Interestingly, he did have a history of acute myeloid leukemia (AML) diagnosed 2 months previously, and intraoperatively he was found to have a confluent white mass invading both the subdural and subarachnoid spaces.
There was minimal associated hemorrhage and final pathology showed myeloid sarcoma.
This is the first report we are aware of in which CNS myeloid sarcoma presented as a subdural metastasis and also the first report in which we are aware of this etiology causing a herniation syndrome secondary to mass effect.
