Pre-leukemic granulocytic sarcoma (GS) may pose an initial diagnostic problem and its therapeutic approach has never been formally established. To our knowledge, non-myeloablative stem cell transplantation has been reported in cases of leukemic GS, but not in primary GS. We report a case of primary GS with extensive and aggressive presenting features and successfully treated with intensive chemotherapy followed by non-myeloablative allogeneic stem cell transplant. This resulted in complete remission with minimal complications. Our case demonstrates the potential of graft-vs.-tumour effect in the treatment of GS and suggests that non-myeloablative allogeneic stem cell transplant may be a feasible therapeutic approach for primary GS.
