Abstract
|
|
|
Granulocytic sarcoma is an uncommon extramedullary tumor composed of granuloytic precursor cells such as myeloblasts or monoblasts. These tumor were originally called "chloroma" because of the green color imparted by the heavy the heavy
concentration of
the myeloporoxidase present in myelogenous leukemia cells. The tumor usually develops during the course of myelogenous leukemia or myeloproliferative disorders and may represent the initial manifestation of leukemia. Rarely, granulocytic sarcoma
is
recognized as an isolated +umor without any evidence of leukemia. We report a case of a 21-year-old man who was diagnosed as granulocytic sarcoma of right kidney after complete remission of acute myelocytic leukermia.
