Objective To explore the efficacy of allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo-HSCT) combined with chemotherapy in children with myeloid sarcoma (MS). Methods A retrospective analysis was conducted on the clinical diagnosis, treatment and follow-up data of 7 children with MS who were diagnosed and treated at the hematology and oncology center from January 1, 2020 to December 31, 2023. Results There were 3 male and 4 female patients included in this study. The median age of diagnosis was 62 months (10 months - 14 years). Of the 7 patients, only 1 was initially presented with a "local mass," while the remaining 6 were diagnosed with acute myeloid leukemia (AML) and subsequently discovered to have extramedullary involvement, including 4 in the head and face, 2 in the mediastinum, and 1 in the ilium. All 7 patients received CCLG-AML-2019 protocol-based chemotherapy and bridging allo-HSCT. All children received a myeloablative pretreatment regimen prior to transplantation. Five of the 7 children were treated with post-infusion cyclophosphamide (PTCY), and 2 with busulfan combined with cyclophosphamide (BUCY). The median number of mononuclear cells infused was 19.87 (7.4-24.28)×108/kg, and the median number of CD34+ cells infused was 12.87 (7.1-14.7)×106/kg. The median time of neutrophil engraftment was +15(13-15) days, and the median time of platelet engraftment was +12(11-17) days. As of June 30, 2025, The median follow-up time was 1008 (371-1814) d. Five patients were alive, and 2 died. There was no death related to allo-HSCT. The estimated 3-year OS rate was 71%. Conclusion There are still challenges in the early diagnosis of MS in children, and the standard chemotherapy bridging allo-HSCT in the treatment of MS in children can obtain better efficacy.
