Acute Myeloid Leukemia Presenting as Myeloid Sarcoma with a Predisposition to the Gynecologic Tract by Ryan M. Kahn, Sushmita Gordhandas, Eloise Chapman-Davis, Elizabeth Margolskee, Cathleen Matrai, Amy Chadburn, Ellen Ritchie

“…MS is usually associated with the concurrent diagnosis of acute myeloid leukemia (AML) but can also present in the absence of bone marrow disease or at relapse of AML. MS of the gynecologic tract is exceedingly rare; however, it is hypothesized that it is likely more prevalent than previously understood given postmortem findings and persistence in preserved ovarian tissue. …”
