Abstract

Granulocytic sarcoma (chloroma) is a rare, solid tumor of myelogenous stem cells, shows usually in patients with acute myelogenous leukemia and less commonly in patients with chronic myelogenous leukemia or myeloproliferative disorders. We report here a patient presenting acute paraparesis due to spinal epidural granulocytic sarcoma causing spinal cord compression in acute myelogenous leukemia with a brief review of literature.
