Abstract

Granulocytic sarcoma (GS) is a rare malignant neoplasm resulting from the extramedullary proliferation of mature or immature myeloid blasts or immature myeloid cells. It is more than twice as common in children as in adults with acute myeloid leukemia and its overall incidence is 4-5 %. We herein report a 14-year-old-female who had referred with intracranial and spinal masses due to granulocytic sarcoma as the presenting symptoms of acute myeloid leukemia (AML). GS should be considered in the differential diagnosis of cranial masses particularly in pediatric patients and young adults. In patients with GS and neurological symptoms, appropriate combined chemotherapy may obviate surgical intervention. Prompt diagnosis and adequate treatment are essential to achieve a good outcome.

Özet

Granülositik sarkom (GS) matüre olmuş veya olmamış immatür miyeloid hücrelerin oluşturduğu miyeloid blastların ekstramedüller proliferasyonundan kaynaklanan ender bir tümördür. Akut miyeloid lösemili erişkin hastalara göre çocuk hastalarda iki kattan daha fazla gözlemlenir ve sıklığı % 4-5 arasındadır. Burada akut miyeloid lösemi (AML) öncesinde ortaya çıkan granülositik sarkoma bağlı intrakranial ve spinal kitleler ile başvuran 14 yaşında kız hasta sunulacaktır. GS özellikle pediatrik yaş grubunda ve genç erişkinlerde kraniyal kitlelerin ayırıcı tanısında akla gelmelidir. Nörolojik semptomu olan GS’lu hastalarda uygun kombine kemoterapi ile cerrahi girişim engellenebilir. Hızlı tanı ve uygun tedavi iyi bir sağ kalım için gereklidir.
