title: Disseminated myeloid sarcomas-a rare presentation of acute myeloid leukemia.
abstract: Acute Myeloid Leukemias (AML) may present rarely as anatomical distortions at extramedullary sites, termed as Myeloid Sarcomas (MS). Though MS can involve different sites, concomitant involvement of multiple sites is very rare. Here, we describe an adolescent girl who presented with disseminated MS at multiple sites. Such a presentation of AML has not been described before. The delay in presentation of the patient to a proper medical center is also to be noted here.
