In our patient, the presentation of Horner's syndrome with associated left arm pain, weakness, and sensory deficit was localized to a second-order syndrome caused from extramedullary

MS was previously referred to as

Also known as
chloroma, myeloblastoma, or extramedullary leukemia, granulocytic sarcomas can be found in almost every part of the body, such as the bones, orbit, paranasal sinuses, para- and intraspinal spaces, brain, skin, stomach, colon, kidney, breast, cervix, and vagina (Nishimura, Kyuma, Kamijo, & Maruta, 2004).
Occasionally, extramedullary forms of blast crisis (

[4, 5] These symptoms mimic various differential diagnosis which include inflammatory process, orbital cellulitis, metastatic neuroblastoma,
