Cureus. 2024 Mar 27;16(3):e57029. doi: 10.7759/cureus.57029. eCollection 2024 Mar.

Abstract

Myeloid sarcoma (MS) is a rare extramedullary tumor of immature granulocytic cells and is most often associated with acute myeloid leukemia (AML). Myeloid sarcomas can occur anywhere in the body but are seldom present in the testicles, especially in the pediatric population. The treatment of MS, especially testicular myeloid sarcoma (TMS) is not well defined in the literature and the role of radiation therapy in the treatment of TMS is even less well defined. In this case report, we discuss the treatment for TMS in a pediatric patient, review the literature, and discuss the role of radiation therapy in the treatment.
