Clin Neurol Neurosurg. 1991;93(4):341-4. doi: 10.1016/0303-8467(91)90103-v.

Abstract

Granulocytic sarcoma is a solid tumor associated with acute leukemia and myeloproliferative disorders. In this report we present a patient with a progressive sciatic pain due to an intradural granulocytic sarcoma fixed on the right spinal nerve root S1. The incidence and significance of central nervous involvement by granulocytic sarcoma are discussed.
