title: Granulocytic sarcoma of the mandible.
abstract: The case is presented of a 54-year-old black man with a mass apparently involving only the soft tissue retromolar trigone on panoramic and mandibular series radiographs. A granulocytic sarcoma involving the mandible was diagnosed on biopsy with the aid of histochemical stains, immunologic cell surface markers, and electron microscopy. The autopsy also revealed involvement of the ribs and liver.
