Abstract:
Granulocytic Sarcoma (GS) is a rare condition with a wide list of differential diagnosis and debatable guidelines of treatment in different cancer centers. Most of literature recommended systemic chemotherapy with or without radiation therapy and small role of surgery. One of the rarest sites for myeloid sarcoma is hard palate, which usually worsen the quality of life of the patient due to difficulty in feeding, drinking and speaking. We are reporting a case of hard palatine fistula caused by granulocytic sarcoma, in which we tried to get local control of disease with 3 dimension conformal radiation therapy 3DCRT and surgery with systemic control with chemotherapy using recommendation of multidisciplinary team and targeting mainly patient quality of life.
