Granulocytic sarcoma of the scapula: an unusual presentation of acute myeloblastic leukemia.
The unusual presentation of acute myeloblastic leukemia as a scapular granulocytic sarcoma in an infant without systemic manifestations is reported for the first time. Granulocytic sarcoma as a presentation of leukemia should be considered in the differential diagnosis of scapular masses during childhood. Surgery is limited to obtain sufficient tissue for histopathologic diagnosis.
