Retroperitoneal and Pelvic Myeloid Sarcoma in a Patient With JAK2-Positive Polycythemia Vera: A Case Report.
Myeloproliferative neoplasms occasionally transform through unusual tumors outside bone marrow, reminding doctors to consider blood disorders when patients develop mysterious masses.
This Cureus case report describes a rare case of concurrent retroperitoneal and pelvic myeloid sarcoma arising in the context of JAK2 V617F-positive polycythemia vera, representing an unusual mode of transformation in myeloproliferative neoplasms. The case reinforces that myeloid sarcoma should be considered in MPN patients presenting with unexplained extramedullary masses.
