[Granulocytic Sarcoma: Two cases with Lymph Node Presentation].
Two cases of granulocytic sarcoma (GS) with lymph node presentation without marrow involvement are presented because it is a rare presentation of acute myeloid leukemia (AML) that can coexist with or precede it and as initial symptom (case 1) or disease relapse (case 2). The most common differential diagnoses are lymphoma or solid tumor. Biopsy is essential for definitive diagnosis. Imaging studies such as positron emission tomography (PET) are very useful for staging and monitoring. The prognosis and treatment according to the literature is not different from AML. The two cases presented were diagnosed with lymph node biopsy with a bone marrow that did not meet criteria for AML.
