title: Granular acute lymphoblastic leukemia in an adult patient.
abstract: Granular acute lymphoblastic leukemia (G-ALL) may mimic the diagnosis of acute myeloid leukemia due to the presence of cytoplasmic granules found in the lymphoblasts. This rare variant is commonly seen in children but may occur in adults also. We report a case of G-ALL in an adult female patient.
