Abstract:
Granulocytic sarcoma is a localized tumor mass composed of immature cells of the granulocytic series. It can develope in patients with acute myelogenous leukemia or impending blast crisis of chronic myelogenous leukemia. Granulocytic sarcoma during the course of chronic myelogenous leukemia has beeen noted to occur in lymph node, bone, skin, breast, peritoneum, testis, ovary, gastrointestinal tract, kidney, brain. We reported a case of granulocytic sarcoma causing spinal cord compression in chronic myelogenous leukemia with a brief review of literature.
