Abstract:
This report presents a unique case of a 42-year-old female with a history of acute myeloid leukemia (AML) who exhibited an extramedullary relapse in the breast. Given the rarity of such presentations, this case underscores the importance of considering AML in the differential diagnosis of breast lesions, especially in patients with a pertinent medical history. Additionally, this case highlights the radiological and pathological challenges in distinguishing AML from other breast malignancies. The importance of timely diagnosis and the clinical implications of such a presentation are also discussed.
