Myeloid sarcoma is a rare malignant tumor of primitive myeloid cell origin often associated with hematologic disorders. The central nervous system is rarely involved and differentiating between myeloid sarcoma and other tumors is not possible on imaging. Here we present the rare case of an isolated intracranial myeloid sarcoma, initially misdiagnosed radiologically as a meningioma, treated with surgical total resection and subsequent chemotherapy, with no signs of any hematological disorder at follow up. Differential diagnosis and management strategies, as well as follow-up implications are discussed along with literature review, which pointed out that only five cases with no further signs of hematological disorders at follow up have been described in the literature so far and this case has the longest follow up of them at 9 years.
