Core Tip	We report a rare case of myeloid sarcoma (MS) with maxillary gingival swelling as the initial symptom. In this case, histopathological and immunohistochemical analyses showed diffuse infiltration of myeloperoxidase-positive neoplastic cells with 80% Ki-67 staining, indicating MS. Flow cytometry revealed a predominance of granulocytes without distinct B-cell or T-cell markers, supporting the diagnosis. Absence of CD20 and CD3 markers lessened lymphoma likelihood, confirming the lesion's hematopoietic nature.
