Granulocytic sarcoma is an uncommon manifestation of myelogenous leukemias in which focal masses of immature myeloid cells from the granulocytic lineage infiltrate bone and soft tissue. It is most common in the pediatric population and may present at any time in the course of the disease, either concurrently with the onset of leukemia or during a remission or relapse. Occasionally, it may precede the clinical onset of acute myelogenous leukemia (AML), presenting a diagnostic challenge.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
