Abstract
|
|
|
granulocytic sarcoma, a rare extramedullayr solid tumor arising from early myeloid precursors, is capable of invading the meninges or the brain parenchyma. The tumor may occur during or after the onset of systemic myelogenous leukemia. On rare
occasions, the tumor may evolve before the onset of systemic myelogenous leukemia. Children are affected more often than adults, but sex is not related. Although no definite target area of the brain can be demonstrated, there may be some
predilection of
the tumor for the posterior fossa. The authors report a case of 4-year-old-boy with granulocytic sarcoma occuring in the posterior fossa presenting with gait disturbance and torticollis. The patient was treated by surgical removal of the tumor,
thereby
avoiding the potentially lethal complication of a posterior fassa mass. This rare case is reported is reported together a review of the literature.
