He was diagnosed to have acute myeloid leukemia (AML) with granulocytic\nsarcoma (GS). A chromosomal analysis showed t(8; 21), and a flow cytometric analysis demonstrated\nthe leukemic cells to be positive for CD56.\nSystemic chemotherapy and radiation therapy to the GS, but the patient experienced a relapse in the\nlumbar vertebrae. He underwent an umbilical-cord blood stem cell transplantation, however, he died 7\nmonths thereafter. GS is a localized tumor consisting of leukemic myelolasts, which is generally\nobserved as a complication of either AML, myelodysplastic syndrome, or myelobproliferative disorders.\nWe herein report this case due to its rarity, even though various sites of GS have been reported.}, pages = {183--185}, title = {Acute Myeloid Leukemia Presenting as Subcutaneous and Epidural Granulocytic Sarcoma Inside and Outside of the Frontal Bone}, volume = {57}, year = {2007} }
