Abstract :
Myeloid sarcoma,also known as extramedullary myeloid tumor,is a tumor mass composed of myeloblasts or immature myeloid cells occurring in extramedullary site or in the bone. Myeloid Sarcoma (MS) can occur in many parts of the body commonest being lymph nodes, bone ,skin,soft tissues but its occurrence in thyroid is very rare which prompted us to report this case. Here in we report an unusual case of MS of the thyroid in a 50 year old lady diagnosed by FNAC.She presented with chief complaints of fever, weakness ,abdominal pain since last 3 months. Concurrent hematological examinationdiagnosed the patient to have CML in chronic phase.This case emphasizesFNAC as the easy, rapid, and cost‑effective method to diagnose MS. It also deals with cytomorphological features of MS, along with iefliterature review and its differential diagnosis.
