| Popis: | The term "granulocytic sarcoma" refers to an extramedullary collection of immature myeloid cells; rarely, it may precede peripheral blood or bone marrow involvement, presenting as a diagnostic challenge. The present communication deals with four cases of granulocytic sarcoma. Fine needle aspiration cytology (FNAC) was performed for all the cases and a diagnosis of granulocytic sarcoma was suspected. Subsequently, a complete blood count was performed which revealed blasts in the peripheral blood and a diagnosis of acute myeloid leukemia (AML) was confirmed on bone marrow examination. Here, we emphasize the utility of FNAC for making the correct diagnosis of this entity in cases where AML was previously not suspected. DOI:10.21276/APALM.1587 |
