Abstract
Myeloid sarcoma (MS)1 is a rare localised extramedullary tumor of myeloid precursor cells and often represents a subtype of myeloid leukaemia. MS of paranasal sinus origin is very rare. Here we report a case of 43 year old male who presented with Myeloid Sarcoma of ethmoid sinus with intracranial extension.
