Clinical examination showed large diffuse firm mass measuring 8 cm x 6 cm with a glistening of skin and venous prominence [Figure 1].
(a) Photomicrograph of cytology showing dispersed myeloid blast cells having small amount of granular basophilic cytoplasm, large round nuclei with prominent nucleoli in the case of myeloid sarcoma (Leishman and Giemsa stain, x40 view). (b) Photomicrograph showing myeloperoxidase positive myeloblasts in the cytology smears (myeloperoxidase stain, x40 view)

Majority of the cells were immature myeloid cells few neutrophils and many large round cells with high nuclear-cytoplasmic ratio, prominent nucleoli and a moderate amount of granular cytoplasm [Figure 2a]. In view of immature myeloid cells, MPO stain was done on smears, and it showed MPO positive granules in the cells [Figure 2b].
