| Abstract | Myeloid sarcoma, which is highly associated with acute myeloid leukemia, is defined as an extramedullary discrete tumor mass, consisted by immature myeloid cells or myeloblasts. Myeloid sarcoma usually involves the skin, lymph node, bone, soft tissue and testis, while involvement of the gastrointestinal tract is rather uncommon. The diagnosis depends on histological features and immunohistochemical results. We present a rare case of myeloid sarcoma, with synchronous involvement of the jejunum and the greater omentum, manifesting with small bowel obstruction. |
