Granulocytic sarcoma (GS) is a rare myeloid tumor presenting outside bone marrow. This case highlights an exceptional mandibular GS occurrence in a patient with chronic myeloid leukemia post-tooth extraction.

Area of Science:

  • Hematology
  • Oncology
  • Pathology

Background:

  • Granulocytic sarcoma (GS) is a malignant extramedullary tumor of poorly differentiated myeloid cells.
  • GS is typically associated with acute myeloid leukemia, with rare occurrences in chronic myeloid leukemia.
  • Oral cavity involvement by GS is exceptionally infrequent.

Observation:

  • A case of mandibular granulocytic sarcoma is presented.
  • The patient had chronic myeloid leukemia and recently underwent a tooth extraction.
  • The GS was detected 10 days after the dental procedure.

Findings:

  • This report details an unusual presentation of granulocytic sarcoma in the mandible.
  • The temporal association with tooth extraction raises questions about potential pathogenesis.

  • The study explores metastatic spread versus direct migration via Haversian canals.

    • Implications:

    • This case expands the understanding of granulocytic sarcoma's rare extramedullary manifestations.
    • It underscores the importance of considering GS in the differential diagnosis of mandibular tumors, especially in leukemia patients.
    • Further research into the pathogenesis of GS in specific sites like the jawbone is warranted.
