Acute myeloid leukemia (AML) is a neoplasm of immature myeloid cells derived from the bone marrow with an aggressive and heterogeneous course. The extramedullary disease is known as “myeloid sarcoma” or extramedullary acute myeloid leukemia in the 2016 WHO classification. It can affect any tissue, but breast involvement is extremely rare. The age at the time of diagnosis ranges from 16 to 73 years, so cases at earlier ages are extraordinary, making their diagnosis a real challenge. We present the case of a 13-year-old adolescent who presented with progressively growing bilateral breast masses, with a subsequent diagnosis of AML. After the diagnostic challenge, a protocol was established and chemotherapy was started with satisfactory results, the patient was controlled by an outpatient support group. The importance of the clinicopathological connections is reaffirmed, the immunohistochemical study is essential to establish the definitive diagnosis, taking into account that the histological characteristics are inconstant and can be confused with other pathologies such as non-Hodgkin lymphoma. There are few cases reported in the literature of breast involvement as the first manifestation of the disease. No reported pediatric cases were found in Colombia.
