  • Title: Central nervous system granulocytic sarcoma in a patient with essential thrombocythemia.
    Author: Grande M.
    Journal: Am J Hematol; 1996 Jan; 51(1):64-7. PubMed ID: 8571939.
    Abstract:
    We report a rare case of central nervous system granulocytic sarcoma (GS) in a patient with essential thrombocythemia (ET). The diagnosis of GS was established by morphological and cytochemical findings (peroxidase and naphthol-AS-D-chloroacetate esterase positivity) of neoplastic cells. GS was detected as an intracranial frontal mass 7 months before the transformation of ET in acute myeloid leukemia and relapsed as two extradural spinal masses during the course of leukemic evolution.
