Granulocytic sarcoma simulating "nonsecretory" multiple myeloma

G P Carmichael, Y T Lee

    Human Pathology
    |November 1, 1977
    PubMed
    Summary

    Granulocytic sarcoma, a rare cancer, can occur without typical leukemia blood markers. Advanced tests revealed early myeloid cells, confirming this unusual diagnosis in a patient with bone lesions.

    Area of Science:

    • Oncology
    • Hematology
    • Pathology

    Background:

    • Granulocytic sarcoma (GS) is a rare extramedullary tumor composed of myeloid blasts.
    • It can occur with or without concurrent chronic myeloid leukemia or acute myeloid leukemia.
    • Diagnosis can be challenging, especially in the absence of overt leukemic peripheral blood findings.

    Observation:

    • A 33-year-old male presented with multiple osteolytic bone lesions.
    • Initial bone marrow examination suggested a diagnosis of nonsecretory multiple myeloma.
    • The patient lacked characteristic peripheral blood findings of myelogenous leukemia.

    Findings:

    • Advanced diagnostic techniques, including electron microscopy and enzymatic histochemistry, were employed.
    • These studies identified the neoplastic cells as early myelogenous precursors.
    • This confirmed the diagnosis of granulocytic sarcoma.

    Implications:

    • This case highlights the importance of comprehensive diagnostic evaluation for granulocytic sarcoma.
    • It underscores that GS can present without typical leukemic peripheral blood abnormalities.
    • Utilizing advanced techniques like electron microscopy and histochemistry is crucial for accurate diagnosis in ambiguous cases.
