    <abstract language="eng">Granulocytic sarcoma is generally associated to acute myeloblastic leukemia, either as its first clinical manifestation, tissue expression of the disease, or initial symptom of its recurrence. Less than 1 percent of patients will present with prominent extramedullary disease (i.e., myeloid sarcoma, also called granulocytic sarcoma, myeloblastoma, or chloroma).
