Abstract

This case report describes the case of a man in his seventies presenting with a nasopharyngeal deposit of myeloid sarcoma associated with acute monomyelocytic leukaemia. He presented with right nasal obstruction associated with unilateral pulsatile tinnitus. CT and MRI scans of sinuses identified a moderately restricting mucosal swelling of the right torus tubarius, and a biopsy of the lesion diagnosed a nasal deposit of myeloid sarcoma.
