Ovarian granulocytic sarcoma with central nervous system involvement

Tumori. 1986 Jun 30;72(3):335-8. doi: 10.1177/030089168607200317.

Abstract

The authors describe 2 cases of acute myeloid leukemia (AML) with ovarian granulocytic sarcoma (GS) and central nervous system (CNS) involvement. The patients had an unfavorable clinical course in a short period of time. It has been reported that GS or CNS involvement does not have a bad prognostic significance. We suggest that the association of these two complications worsens the prognosis of AML.
