Abstract

An isolated granulocytic sarcoma (chloroma) of the left ovary occured in the absence of leukemia in a 12-year-old woman. This lesion is defined as a localized tumor mass composed of immature cells of the granulocytic series. Granulocytic sarcomas can occur at extramedullary sites including ovary but, isolated myelosarcoma in the absence of usual manifestations of AML may be rare and has some difficulties in diagnosis. Contrary to findings in other series, granulocytic sarcoma arising in this nonleukemic patient did not progress to acute leukemia during two years she has been followed.

Key Words: Granulocytic Sarcoma, Ovary
