Abstract
We report a case of a 19-year-old male with an extradural granulocytic sarcoma at T5/6 to T7 demonstrated by MRI. He recovered from parapleg ia that had progressed rapidly after excision of the tumor as an emerg ency operation. Histopathological studies disclosed granulocytic sarco ma. Both peripheral blood and bone marrow examinations revealed acute myelogenous leukemia. The karyotype of the bone marrow showed 45, X, - Y, t (8; 21) (q22; q22).
