BACKGROUND Granulocytic sarcoma, an uncommon solid, extra-medullary tumor is a rare presentation of acute myeloid leukemia. CASE CHARACTERISTICS A seven-year old boy admitted to the hospital for treatment of leukemia having radiological findings of consolidation in one lung. OBSERVATION/INTERVENTION A bronchoalveolar lavage was done which was negative for tubercular, bacterial, and fungal i...

Granulocytic sarcoma (GS) represents a rare type of extramedullar manifestation from the acute myeloid leukaemia (AML). We report the case of a patient with recurrences of AML M4eo leukaemia in the uterus and the small intestine at 3 and 5 years, respectively, after matched related peripheral blood stem cell transplantation (PBSCT). The patient underwent the withdrawal of immunosuppression, hys...

Introduction: Myeloid sarcoma is an unusual extramedullary tumorous lesion consisting of immature cells of granulocytic series. Peritonsillar swelling as a manifestation of myeloid sarcoma is quite unique. The clinical diagnosis of this entity is difficult and fine needle aspiration cytology might be a useful alternative in centres with limited facility. We present such a case which clinically ...

Isolated extramedullary relapse of chronic myelogenous leukemia (CML) after allogeneic stem cell transplant is rare. There is a case report of a child who developed a granulocytic sarcoma of the maxillary and sphenoid sinuses and lumbosacral spinal cord mass 18 months after allogeneic bone marrow transplant for CML. He was presented with per orbital edema and neurological deficit of lower extre...

Chloroma is a granulocytic sarcoma with it's characteristic greenish color. Recently there is an increased number of cases that are apparently aleukemic when the tumor mass is first presented. Recently we experienced a case of granulocytic sarcoma with characteristic green color (chloroma), which showed no evidence of leukemia in the bone marrow and peripheral blood. This patient presented head...

Granulocytic sarcoma is a rare extramedullary tumor composed of immature myeloid cells. It is usually associated with leukemia or other myeloproliferative disorders but can also occur without overt hematologic diseases. The breast is an uncommon site of presentation and requires a high index of suspicion for diagnosis. We report such a case in a 45-year-old female, who presented with nontender ...

primary myeloid sacrom (ms) is a rare tumor and even more rare in multiple organs with no evidence of bone marrow involvement. this report describes an unusual case of a 19-year-old male presenting scrotal ms with a history of subconjunctival ms, 5 months ago. bone marrow biopsies showed no evidence of acute leukemia. despite radiotherapy for first involvement and chemotherapy for second presen...
