title: Ovarian granulocytic sarcoma with central nervous system involvement.
abstract: The authors describe 2 cases of acute myeloid leukemia (AML) with ovarian granulocytic sarcoma (GS) and central nervous system (CNS) involvement. The patients had an unfavorable clinical course in a short period of time. It has been reported that GS or CNS involvement does not have a bad prognostic significance. We suggest that the association of these two complications worsens the prognosis of AML.
