Myeloid sarcoma is a rare solid tumour composed of primitive precursors of granulocytic series of white blood cells involving extramedullary anatomic site. Here we report the case of a 10-month-old with testicular swelling, who was finally diagnosed with granulocytic sarcoma. This case demonstrates that Granulocytic sarcoma should be considered as a part of the differential diagnosis for testicular swelling in spite of having normal peripheral counts and absence of hepatosplenomegaly.
髓系肉瘤是一种罕见的实体瘤,由粒细胞系列白细胞的原始前体细胞组成,累及髓外解剖部位。在此,我们报告一例10个月大的睾丸肿胀患儿,最终被诊断为粒细胞肉瘤。该病例表明,尽管外周血细胞计数正常且无肝脾肿大,但粒细胞肉瘤仍应被视为睾丸肿胀鉴别诊断的一部分。
