title: [Vaginal granulocytic sarcoma: CT and MR imaging].
abstract: A 30-year-old female patient with vaginal bleeding was referred to the gynecological unit of our hospital. Speculum examination showed a lobulated tumor, 5 cm in size, at the vaginal fornix. MRI demonstrated a tumor encompassing the ventral part of the vagina and the entire cervix. Computed tomography diagnosed pathologically enlarged mediastinal lymph nodes. Subsequent examinations revealed an acute myeloic leukemia, synchronous histopathological examination of the vaginal tumor led to the rare diagnosis of a granulocytic sarcoma.
