Özet
Background: Myeloid sarcoma rarely presents in the absence of systemic myeloid disease. Case Report: In this study, we present a case of intracerebral myeloid sarcoma with no diagnosis of any hematological disease in a 22-year-old male patient in whom brain magnetic resonance image revealed a meningioma. However, biopsy showed myeloid sarcoma. No myeloid disease was determined. The mass disappeared following 8 cycles of chemotherapy. In the literature, we determined only 8 similar cases cited between 1970 and 2011. Conclusion: Intracerebral myeloid sarcoma has currently no standard treatment and may be confused with a primary brain disease. Chemotherapy and/or radiotherapy are the most viable and widely used treatment modalities. Potential occurrence of hematological disease should also be closely followed due to conversion risks.
