chloroma or granulocytic sarcoma (gs) is a malignant neoplasm of myeloid lineage that occur in a variety of anatomic sites other than the bone marrow including soft tissue, bone, lymph node, nasal fossa, skin and sometime in the orbit. in the subconjunctiva it is rarely reported. a 4-year-old girl with a history of treated acute myelogenous leukemia was referred to farabi eye hospital, tehran, ...

granulocytic sarcoma (gs) is an unusual extramedullary tumor composed of immature granulocytic precursor cells. the intraoral occurrence of this tumor is extremely rare. here we report a case of gs with palatal swelling, gingival lesions in maxilla and mandible and aleukemic presentation in a 45 years old man.

myeloid sarcoma or granulocytic sarcoma (gs) is a rare disease with poor prognosis. it is characterized by the occurrence of tumor masses at an extra-medullary tissue. it is composed of myeloblastic cells and usually occurs in association with acute myeloid leukemia. because of its nonspecific clinical and radiologic findings, its diagnosis might be challenging. it might be more commonly found ...

BACKGROUND Granulocytic sarcoma is an extramedullary tumor of myeloblasts. The purpose of this report was to present a case of a primary laryngeal granulocytic sarcoma and review of the literature. METHODS A literature review was performed using Medline and PubMed databases to search for cases of all primary and secondary myelogenous tumors of the larynx. RESULTS A 36-year-old man presented...

Granulocytic sarcoma may develop at any time during the course of acute or chronic myelogenous leukemia. Symptomatic because of their invasive nature and mass effect, these tumors may occur in any anatomic site. Granulocytic sarcoma is diagnosed in a minority of patients with myelogenous leukemia, but when present, granulocytic sarcoma commonly affects the CNS. The most common manifestation of ...

Granulocytic sarcoma is a rare solid tumor of immature granulocytes. It represents tumorous manifestation of granulocytic leukemia that may occur in the brain, paranasal sinuses, skeleton, chest, or abdomen [1, 2]. The term granulocytic sarcoma is used in preference to chloroma, because it refers to the cell origin of the tumor and not to its color, which fades away as the pigment myeloperoxida...

Granulocytic sarcoma is rare extramedullary tumor composed of myeloblasts and other granulocytic precursors. The majority of cases have been reported in association with acute myeloid leukemia (AML) or myeloproliferative disorders. Granulocytic sarcoma may occur in patients with myelodysplastic syndromes. Reports are very rare, especially in the brain. We report an unusual case of granulocytic ...

Granulocytic sarcoma is a rare tumor composed of immature granulocytic cells that is usually associated with acute myelogenous leukemia. Intraparenchymal cranial localization without skull, meningeal, or bone marrow invasion is extremely rare. The mechanisms of intraparenchymal cranial localization of GS remains unknown, as only 10 cases with cerebellar granulocytic sarcoma have been previously...
