Myeloid sarcoma is a disease that involves first the breast with rapid systemic dissemination. There is no scientific standard consensus on surgical and medical treatment of myeloid sarcoma of the breast and there is no role for radical surgery because chemotherapy and radiotherapy are required for longer survival. Surgery is needful in investigatory work-up to define immunohistochemistry diagnosis. We reported one case of 39-year-old Caucasian female with myeloid sarcoma without systemic involvement that was admitted to our Operative Unit for breast neoplasm. The patient is alive 19 months after surgery she is in good health, without relapse and she never developed neither clinical nor hematologic signs of myelo-proliferative disease. We can deduce that our therapeutic strategy was correct but we can’t consider the disease completely cured because of its aggressiveness.
