Core Tip
Core Tip: The main aim of this article is to present a rare case of myeloid sarcoma (MS) invading the ulnar nerve and causing ulnar nerve entrapment syndrome. The patient’s symptoms were relieved by surgical release of the nerve bundle and compressed tissue, and the disease was diagnosed definitively by pathological examination. The case illustrates the rare presenting features of extramedullary MS, enriches the clinical literature, and highlights that it is essential to suspect MS with a history of acute nonlymphocytic leukaemia.
