Abstract
The authors describe a male infant with a history of transient pancytopenia who developed progressive bilateral proptosis associated with diffuse infiltration of the kidney and normal bone marrow. The histopathological examination of the kidney revealed diffuse infiltration of cells of myeloid origin with monocytic differentiation. Although orbital involvement by myeloid sarcoma, with or without concurrent acute myeloid leukemia, is well known, there are distinctive features in this patient that are not reported in the literature, namely bilateral proptosis and simultaneous presence of bilateral kidney infiltration, which enabled diagnosis.
