Fulltext PDFGranulocytic Sarcoma (GS) or what are called chloroma, myeloblastoma and myeloid sarcoma)
is an uncommon extramedullary solid tumor of immature myeloid cells. It occurs primarily in
Acute Myelogenous Leukemia (AML) but also may arise in patients with other myeloproliferative
disorders.
It could occur at any part of the body mostly in the bone, soft tissue or lymph node, rarely involving
the Central Nervous System (CNS) and causing spinal cord compression, it could occur during
the course of disease, at relapsed or as Isolated Granulocytic Sarcoma (IGS) without bone marrow
involvement.
We report a 17 years old boy with IGS of the vertebral body causing spinal cord compression
and bilateral lower limb weakness treated with surgical decompression, laminectomy and biopsy
followed by chemo-irradiation and currently the he is on regular follow up.
