    Author: Feng Y, Zhang L, Cheng N, Lai W, Chen Y, Liu J.
    Journal: Clin Lab; 2019 Jul 01; 65(7):. PubMed ID: 31307173.
    Abstract:
    BACKGROUND: Granulocytic sarcoma in the lung is a rare presentation of acute myeloid leukemia (AML). Here, we describe a rare case of granulocytic sarcoma of the lung in a 56-year-old male patient with AML. METHODS: Hematologic investigation, bone marrow aspirate, cytogenetic analysis, chest computed tomography (CT), and pulmonary biopsy were performed. RESULTS: The patient achieved complete remission (CR) after induction therapy, but the patient refused further treatment and was lost to follow-up. CONCLUSIONS: Pulmonary biopsy and bone marrow aspirate are important to confirm a correct diagnosis. Pulmo-nary granulocytic sarcoma as a prognostic factor needs further studies.
