ABSTRACT
We herein report a case of intracranial myeloid sarcoma mimicking hypertensive intracerebral hemorrhage. A 71-year-old man with a history of acute myeloid leukemia was admitted with acute-onset dysarthria. A hematoma-like lesion was found on computed tomography in the left putamen. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and cerebrospinal fluid cytology confirmed the diagnosis of intracranial myeloid sarcoma. The patient showed a favorable response to chemotherapy, and follow-up MRI revealed shrinkage of the tumor. Since the computed tomography findings resemble those of intracerebral hemorrhage, it is important to suspect intracranial neoplasm, particularly in cases with a history of hematologic diseases.
