A Case of Granulocytic Sarcoma of the Lung in Acute Myeloid Leukemia
Background:
Granulocytic sarcoma in the lung is a rare presentation of acute myeloid leukemia (AML). Here, we describe a rare case of granulocytic sarcoma of the lung in a 56-year-old male patient with AML.
Methods:
Hematologic investigation, bone marrow aspirate, cytogenetic analysis, chest computed tomography (CT), and pulmonary biopsy were performed.
Results:
The patient achieved complete remission (CR) after induction therapy, but the patient refused further treatment and was lost to follow-up.
Conclusions:
Pulmonary biopsy and bone marrow aspirate are important to confirm a correct diagnosis. Pulmo-nary granulocytic sarcoma as a prognostic factor needs further studies.

Acute Pancreatitis I: Introduction
Acute pancreatitis is characterized by rapid inflammation of the pancreas, often caused by factors like gallstone blockage or excessive alcohol consumption. Chronic pancreatitis, on the other hand, is a slow, progressive inflammation that may result from long-term alcohol abuse, obstructions in the pancreatic duct, or genetic factors.
The causes of acute pancreatitis include:
