Summary
Granulocytic sarcoma involving bone and pleura was diagnosed using cytologic analysis of pleural fluid. Immunohistochemistry confirmed granulomonocytic antigens, highlighting the value of cytology in diagnosing these tumors, especially when they mimic lymphoma.
Area of Science:
- Oncology
- Hematology
- Cytopathology
Background:
- Granulocytic sarcoma is a rare extramedullary tumor composed of immature myeloid cells.
- Diagnosis can be challenging, particularly when histologic features resemble lymphoma.
- Pleural involvement in granulocytic sarcoma is uncommon but significant.
