Abstract
Granulocytic sarcomas are rare extramedullary tumors consisting of granulocytic precursor cells. Rarely it may
precede peripheral blood or bone marrow involvement, presenting as a diagnostic challenge. We report here a case
of myeloid sarcoma in a 36-year-old man, who presented with cervical lymphadenopathy of one month duration.
Fine needle aspiration cytology (FNAC) was performed and a diagnosis of myeloid sarcoma was offered. Subsequently,
peripheral blood smear examination and complete blood counts done, which revealed features of chronic
myeloid leukemia (CML) with accelerated phase. We report here a rare case to emphasize the diagnostic utility of
FNAC in making the correct diagnosis of myeloid sarcoma.
