Granulocytic sarcoma (GS) is an extramedullary tumor formed by myeloid blasts and mature granulocytes, which may precede, accompany or follow acute myeloid leukemia (AML) or a myeloproliferative syndrome.1 Any area of the body may be affected; it most frequently involves bone, lymph nodes, skin or soft tissues. Pleural and mediastinal localizations are uncommon. 2,3 We observed a GS with mediastinal and pleural localization in a patient who had received allogeneic bone marrow transplantation (allo-BMT) for AML. This 36 year-old male was diagnosed as FAB M4-AML, with chromosome 16 inversion, in November 1993.

Abstract
Granulocytic sarcoma (GS) is an extramedullary tumor formed by myeloid blasts and mature granulocytes, which may precede, accompany or follow acute myeloid leukemia (AML) or a myeloproliferative syndrome.1 Any area of the body may be affected; it most frequently involves bone, lymph nodes, skin or soft tissues. Pleural and mediastinal localizations are uncommon. 2,3 We observed a GS with mediastinal and pleural localization in a patient who had received allogeneic bone marrow transplantation (allo-BMT) for AML. This 36 year-old male was diagnosed as FAB M4-AML, with chromosome 16 inversion, in November 1993.| File | Dimensione | Formato | |
