Granulocytic sarcoma is an extramedullary tumor associated with acute or chronic leukemias or myeloproliferative disorders. Rarely, the tumor may be seen before the diagnosis of leukemia. Symptomatic facial nerve paralysis and spinal cord invasion by granulocytic sarcomas are also relatively uncommon. We present here a 17-year-old-female patient who had facial nerve paralysis and paraplegia due to granulocytic sarcoma as the presenting symptoms of acute myeloid leukemia.
粒细胞肉瘤是一种与急性或慢性白血病或骨髓增殖性疾病相关的髓外肿瘤。极少数情况下,该肿瘤可能在白血病诊断之前出现。粒细胞肉瘤导致的症状性面神经麻痹和脊髓侵犯也相对少见。我们在此报告一名17岁女性患者,她以粒细胞肉瘤导致的面神经麻痹和截瘫作为急性髓系白血病的首发症状。
