Core Tip
Core Tip: Granulocytic sarcoma is unusual, and relapse in the breast and dorsal spine after complete remission of acute myeloid leukemia is even rarer. Imaging examinations and histopathologic examinations are essential for the final diagnosis. We reviewed the associated literature and found that the survival rate of the relapse is poor. At present, more prospective studies and clinical trials are needed to standardize its treatment.
