Myeloid sarcoma ( MS ) is a rare extramedullary tumor of malignant myeloid cells often associated with acute myeloid leukemia. We report a case of a 17‐year‐old boy presenting with diffuse red‐brown skin nodules ultimately diagnosed with the scarcely described disseminated, de novo MS . It is important for dermatologists to keep MS on their differential when assessing patients with disseminated red‐brown nodules.
