Abstract

Granulocytic sarcoma is a rare extramedullary soft-tissue tumor of granulocytic lineage with an incidence of 3 to 5 per cent in patients with acute myelogenous leukemia. The most common sites of involvement are bone, soft tissue, lymph nodes, and skin. Here we report three unusual cases of granulocytic sarcoma involving the gastrointestinal tract that required surgical intervention.
