Myeloid Sarcoma of the Kidney Preceding Acute Myeloid Leukemia
Myeloid Sarcoma is a rare extramedullary tumor, consisting of primitive granulocytic precursor cells. We report the case of a 50-year-old man, who presented with a renal mass. After nephrectomy, histological examination revealed a myeloid sarcoma in association with a renal cell carcinoma. Seven weeks after nephrectomy the patient developed acute myeloid leukemia.
متن کاملThe Effect of Monophosphoryl Lipid A on Maturation of DCs from Patients with Acute Myeloid Leukaemia
Background: Generation of monocyte-derived dendritic cells (MDDC) is induced in the presence of GM-CSF and IL-4, and a maturation stimulus is added to the monocyte culture to obtain mature Dendritic Cells (DCs) suitable for therapy. TNF-α is the most common cytokine used for activating DCs and generating mature MDDC either alone or in combination with other cytokines. Objective: To compare effe...
متن کاملIsolated Uterine Myeloid Sarcoma Preceding the Diagnosis of Acute Myeloid Leukemia.
Myeloid sarcoma (MS) is an extramedullary solid tumor composed of leukemic myeloid cells. MS is an uncommon tumor complicating acute myeloid leukemia (AML), or less often myelodysplestic syndrome (MDS) and myeloproliferative disorders. Rarely, MS may precede the systemic onset of AML, which usually follows within months. We report a 36 year-old lady who presented with a cervical-uterine mass, w...
متن کاملGlutathione S-transferases Null Genotype in Acute Myeloid Leukaemia
Background: The glutathione S-transferase (GST) family of metabolising enzymes plays an important role in the detoxification of mutagens and carcinogens. The expression of many of these cancer susceptibility enzymes is genetically polymorphic. An increased frequency of GST-null genotypes has been associated with several malignancies. Objective: To investigate the rate of GSTT1 and GSTM1 null ge...
متن کاملMyeloid Sarcoma Presenting with Lateral Cervical Mass and Eosinophilia; a Diagnostic and Therapeutic Dilemma: Case Report
Myeloid sarcoma is a rare extramedullary tumor of immature myeloid cells. It has been very rarely reported as lateral cervical mass in English literature. Myeloid sarcoma has also been reported with marked eosinophilia. Here we present a 17 year old boy with lateral cervical mass and persistent eosinophilia. The mass was isointense in MRI and homogenously enhanced after contrast injection which...
