Zusammenfassung:Myeloid sarcoma (MS) is a rare extramedullary mass that consists of immature myeloid cells. The most common locations are the soft tissue, bone, periosteum, orbit, and lymph nodes [1,2]. Mediastinal involvement is very rare and most commonly reported with concurrent bone marrow involvement [3].
