    Author: Aki H, Baslar Z, Uygun N, Ozguroglu M, Tuzuner N.
    Journal: Urology; 2002 Aug; 60(2):345. PubMed ID: 12137850.
    Abstract:
    We report a case of granulocytic sarcoma of the urinary bladder, with no evidence of hematologic involvement. The patient was initially misdiagnosed and was treated with chemotherapy for transitional carcinoma grade 3. Despite this treatment, the clinical features of the patient progressed, and a repeated biopsy yielded the correct diagnosis. Three cases of granulocytic sarcoma of the urinary bladder have been reported in published studies, with only one of these primary. To our knowledge, ours is the second case of granulocytic sarcoma of the urinary bladder presenting with urologic symptoms but without hematologic findings.
