Abstract
- Granulocytic sarcoma is an extramedullary tumor composed of immature cells of the granulocytic series known to occur in patients with myelodysplastic syndrome, chronic myeloid leukemia, or acute myeloid leukemia. and occasionally it has been presented without overt leukemia. Involvement of pancreas and kidney is relatively rare in granulocytic sarcoma. We present an extremely rare case of granulocytic sarcoma of pancreas and kidney in a 56-year-old male patient of acute myeloid leukemia presenting with obstructive jaundice due to a pancreatic mass and peri-lymphadenopathy consisting of myeloblast and review the literatures. It should be kept in mind that granulocytic sarcoma is a possible cause of obstructive jaundice in patient with acute myeloid leukemia.
