Abstract

Granulocytic sarcoma is localized myeloblastic cell tumor and has been described for many years in the literature as a rare manifestation of granulocytic leukemia. Although this tumor may involve anywhere in the body and give rise to a variety of signs and symptoms, there are several case reports of granulocytic sarcoma in Korea which described involvements at the lymph node, orbit, vagina, cervix, breast and mediastinum. We have experienced a case of granulocytic sarcoma only involving duodenum without hematologic evidence of leukemia and report this case with review of literature.
