Summary

This case study highlights a rare instance of myeloid sarcoma in the cecum, a condition often misdiagnosed. Definitive diagnosis requires specific immunohistochemistry, including lysozyme and myeloperoxidase markers.

Area of Science:

  • Oncology
  • Pathology

Background:

  • Myeloid sarcoma is a rare extramedullary tumor of myeloid blasts.
  • It typically affects bones but can occur in other sites, posing diagnostic challenges.

Observation:

  • A 60-year-old woman presented with abdominal pain and weight loss.
  • Initial misdiagnosis as B lymphoma due to weak CD79a positivity.

Findings:

  • The patient was diagnosed with primitive caecal myeloid sarcoma.
  • Diagnosis confirmed by positive lysozyme and myeloperoxidase immunohistochemistry.

Implications:

  • This case emphasizes the importance of considering myeloid sarcoma in the differential diagnosis of unexplained abdominal masses.
  • Accurate immunohistochemical staining, particularly for lysozyme and myeloperoxidase, is crucial for correct diagnosis and management.
