Granulocytic sarcoma of the skin is frequently associated with haematological diseases and is rarely isolated. The disease generally develops into acute systemic myeloid leukaemia and is associated with a poor prognosis. We report an elderly patient presenting isolated granulocytic sarcoma of the skin who showed a very good response to treatment with local radiotherapy and low-dose methotrexate.

Abstract

Granulocytic sarcoma of the skin is frequently associated with haematological diseases and is rarely isolated. The disease generally develops into acute systemic myeloid leukaemia and is associated with a poor prognosis. We report an elderly patient presenting isolated granulocytic sarcoma of the skin who showed a very good response to treatment with local radiotherapy and low-dose methotrexate.
