  • Title: Granulocytic sarcoma of the knee and the spine as aleukemic relapse of acute myeloid leukemia in a child.
    Author: Masetti R, Gasperini P, Prete A, Pession A.
    Journal: J Pediatr Hematol Oncol; 2011 Aug; 33(6):480-1. PubMed ID: 21436737.
    Abstract:
    Granulocytic sarcoma is a very rare disease in childhood, which may precede the clinical manifestations of acute myeloid leukemia or may occur as a relapse of a nonleukemic acute myeloid leukemia. It is a malignant, solid tumor consisting of myeloblasts or immature myeloid cells occurring in extramedullary sites. We report interesting magnetic resonance images of a nonleukemic relapse of acute myeloid leukemia in a child presenting as a granulocytic sarcoma unusually localized to the knee and spine.
