title: Bilateral epibulbar granulocytic sarcomas: a case of an 8-year-old girl with acute myeloid leukaemia.
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  An 8-year-old girl with a history of acute myeloid leukaemia (AML) presented with bilateral ocular discomfort, conjunctival injection, photophobia, and epiphora.
  
  
  METHODS
  Clinical examination and high-frequency ultrasound showed bilateral epibulbar tumours.
  
  
  RESULTS
  Granulocytic sarcomas were suspected and leukaemic infiltration was confirmed by fine-needle aspiration biopsy based cytopathologic examination.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  Epibulbar granulocytic sarcoma in AML is rare (particularly in a child). We describe the first high-frequency ultrasound images and illustrate the use of a minimally invasive fine-needle aspiration biopsy technique to confirm our diagnosis.
