Granulocytic sarcoma, a rare tumor, can cause spinal cord compression. This case highlights a granulocytic sarcoma in the spine leading to thoracic spinal cord compression in a patient with myelofibrosis.

Area of Science:

  • Oncology
  • Hematology
  • Neurosurgery

Background:

  • Granulocytic sarcoma (chloroma) is a rare extramedullary tumor originating from myelogenous stem cells.
  • It is most frequently associated with acute myelogenous leukemia and less commonly with chronic myelogenous leukemia or myeloproliferative disorders.

Observation:

  • This report details a case of spinal epidural granulocytic sarcoma.
  • The patient presented with chronic anemia secondary to myelofibrosis.

Findings:

  • The granulocytic sarcoma caused significant thoracic spinal cord compression.
  • This represents an uncommon presentation of granulocytic sarcoma in the context of myelofibrosis.

Implications:

  • This case underscores the importance of considering granulocytic sarcoma in the differential diagnosis of spinal cord compression, particularly in patients with hematological malignancies or myeloproliferative neoplasms.

  • Early recognition and diagnosis are crucial for timely intervention and management of spinal cord compression to prevent irreversible neurological deficits.
