Abstract
- Granulocytic sarcoma is an uncommon and localized extra-medullary tumor composed of immature granulocytic cells. It may present in patiens with acute myeloid leukaemia, myelodysplastic syndrome or chronic myelogenous leukaemia. It may occur in any anatomical site. We report on the case of a 41 year old female diagnosed with chronic myelogenous leukaemia who presented with right arm swelling that did not resolve after antibiotic and surgical fasciotomy. The histological examination showed granulocytic sarcoma. In this report the citogenetics, clinical presentation, diagnosis and outcome of granulocytic sarcoma was reviewed. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
