Myeloid sarcoma - what does this mean

Myeloid sarcoma is a rare cancer that occurs when abnormal myeloid cells grow in the bones or soft tissues of the body. it is caused by a mutation in the dna of the myeloid cells, which causes them to grow and divide uncontrollably.

What happens during the disease - myeloid sarcoma

Myeloid sarcoma is a rare type of cancer that originates from the cells of the bone marrow. it is caused by a mutation in the dna of the bone marrow cells that causes them to grow uncontrollably and form a tumor. the mutated cells can then spread to other parts of the body, such as the lymph nodes, spleen, liver, and skin. the exact cause of the mutation is unknown, but it is believed to be related to genetic factors, environmental exposures, and/or certain medications.
