Rare cause of biliary obstruction from myeloid sarcoma has better prognosis, if timely diagnosed: case report with literature review

Abstract

Extramedullary myeloid sarcoma (EMMS) involving the biliary tract is extremely rare. We describe, a case of a 40-year-old gentleman who presented with obstructive jaundice and features of malignant biliary stricture on ERCP and MRCP. Histopathology revealed myeloblasts, while peripheral blood and bone marrow did not reveal any evidence of leukemia.
