We report an unusual case of granulocytic sarcoma involving the temporal bone. The occurrence of this tumor usually heralds acute myelogenous leukemia or the onset of the blastic phase of chronic myelogenous leukemia. Recognition of this rare entity is important, because early aggressive chemotherapy can cause regression of the tumor, as in our case, and thus improve patient longevity.
我们报告了一例累及颞骨的粒细胞肉瘤罕见病例。这种肿瘤的出现通常预示着急性髓系白血病或慢性髓系白血病急变期的 onset。认识到这种罕见实体很重要,因为早期积极化疗可使肿瘤消退,如我们的病例所示,从而提高患者寿命。 (注:原文中“onset”未翻译完整,可补充为“发作”之类更合适的词,但按要求不添加解释说明,所以保留原文状态)
