Abstract

Granulocytic Sarcoma is an extramedullary tumor composed of immature granulocytic cells. It is also called myelosarcoma or myeloblastoma or chloroma. Granulocytic Sarcomas may develop during the course of the disease, or as a presenting sign of myelogenous leukemia. Herein, we report a case of unilateral GS of the orbit in a 12 year boy, who presented to the eye outpatient department with proptosis of the right eye, and was subsequently diagnosed as acute myeloid leukemia.
