A granulocytic sarcoma is an unusual tumor outside of bone marrow. It is composed of immature cells of the granulocytic cell line. We present a rare case of a 76-year-old male with a history of myelodysplastic syndrome who presented with a large bowel obstruction secondary to lesions at the cecum and transverse colon. He underwent exploratory laparotomy with extended right hemicolectomy. A pathological examination confirmed a granulocytic sarcoma as the cause of the obstruction.
Keywords: colon mass; colon resection; colorectal cancer surgery; granulocytic sarcoma; metastatic granulocytic sarcoma; surgery general.
