Abstract

We report here on a very rare case of granulocytic sarcoma of the pectoralis muscle on the left chest wall of a patient with chronic myelogenous leukemia, and this malady presented as a very rapidly growing hematoma-like mass.

만성골수성백혈병환자에서 과립백혈구육종(granulocytic sarcoma)이 매우 드물게도 좌측 대흉근 부위에 급격히 팽창되는 혈종형태로 발생하였기에 이를 보고하는 바이다.
