We report the case of a three-year-old girl with left sided facial swelling and proptosis as the initial presentation of bilateral orbit involving Acute Myeloid Leukemia (AML) in Cameroon. Despite being less typical in childhood, AML is the most common leukemia to cause orbital leukemic tumors. Solid extramedullary AML involves the orbit in 30% of cases and is bilateral in one third patients

Myeloid sarcoma represents the proliferation of myeloblasts of acute myeloid leukemia (AML) at extramedullary sites. While extramedullary involvement in AML is uncommon in itself, isolated myeloid sarcomas, that is, myeloid sarcomas without any bone marrow involvement, are extremely rare and pose a diagnostic and therapeutic challenge. Here, we present the case of a middle-aged woman with isolated myeloid sarcoma in the stomach—an organ seldom involved by this disease. Additionally, the literature on the epidemiology, diagnosis, pathology, prognosis, and therapeutic options in myeloid sarcomas has been reviewed.
