Granulocytic sarcoma manifested as a parametrial mass mimicking a haemorrhagic abscess: a case report with CT and MR findings.
Granulocytic sarcoma is a neoplasm arising from myeloid precursor cells and frequently accompanies leukaemia and myeloproliferative disorders. Granulocytic sarcoma can arise anywhere, and it frequently involves bones, perineural tissues and lymph nodes. However, granulocytic sarcoma in the female genital organs is uncommon, and it is extremely rare that it presents as an adnexal or parametrial mass. We report here the CT and MR findings in a case of granulocytic sarcoma that manifested as a uterine cervical and parametrial mass mimicking a haemorrhagic abscess in a 50-year-old woman with chronic myelogenous leukaemia.
