C92.3: Myeloid sarcoma
Myeloid sarcoma, also known as granulocytic sarcoma or chloroma, is a rare type of cancer that develops from cells that would normally become white blood cells known as granulocytes. It appears as a solid tumor, differentiating it from most other cancers which involve the blood and bone marrow. Myeloid sarcoma can occur anywhere in the body, but it is most often found in the skin, bone, soft tissues, lymph nodes, and the central nervous system. Patients may experience various symptoms depending on the location of the tumor, which can include lumps, pain, swelling, or changes in organ function. This condition often occurs in conjunction with acute myeloid leukemia or as a precursor sign of the disease, but it can also develop on its own. Despite its rarity, early identification and consistent monitoring are of great importance due to its aggressive nature.
