Cardiac Valve Granulocytic Sarcoma Infiltration as an Complicating Acute Myelogenous Leukemia: a Case Report
Granulocytic sarcomas (chloromas) are rare extramedullary tumors consisting of primitive granulocytic cells. We report here on a case of a 23-year-old man who presented with a generalized swelling. He is known case of acute myelomonocytic leukemia. Granulocytic sarcomas are rare, destructive, extram...

| description | Granulocytic sarcomas (chloromas) are rare extramedullary tumors consisting of primitive granulocytic cells. We report here on a case of a 23-year-old man who presented with a generalized swelling. He is known case of acute myelomonocytic leukemia. Granulocytic sarcomas are rare, destructive, extramedullary tumor masses that consist of immature granulocytic cells. In this unusual patient's case, the location and invasive nature of the tumor be important that can die the patient if we cannot treat patient urgently. Optimal therapy for these patients has not been well defined: standard AML chemotherapy is moderately effective and should be considered for all suitable cases.To reduce the risk of subsequent ANLL in patients with nonleukemic GS, it is important that accurate histologic diagnosis is established initially for GS and that all isolated cases of GS, even those that appear to be cured by resection or irradiation of the tumor, are treated with intensive chemotherapy similar to that used to treat ANLL dur ng the nonleukemic period as soon as possible. |
