Myeloid sarcoma (MS) is a rare hematologic malignancy defined as an extramedullary tumor of immature granulocytic cells. It can occur as primary or de novo and be associated with myelodysplasia or myeloproliferative neoplasms. The most frequent locations are the skin, lymph nodes and bones. The case of a patient with a diagnosis of primary granulocytic de novo gastric MS is reported.
