Myeloid sarcoma is an extramedullary tumor usually found in patients with previous hematological neoplasms, with symptoms depending on the location of the lesions due to their mass effect. The main locations are lymph nodes and the skin. It requires a high clinical suspicion for its diagnosis and has a poor prognosis in the short-medium term.
We present a clinical case of a 64-year-old man with no hematological history who consulted for bone pain and spinal cord compression, observing extensive bone involvement on MRI and PET-TC. He suffered a nosocomial infectious complication and died in the ICU awaiting histological diagnostic confirmation.
