Abstract
We present a rare case of multiple granulocytic sarcoma in a young African woman in blast phase of chronic myeloproliferative neoplasm. Fine needle aspiration cytology of the sarcoma, peripheral blood film and bone marrow aspiration cytology were consistent with chronic myeloid leukaemia in blast phase.
Objective
To present a rare case of multiple granulocytic sarcoma as extramedullary manifestation of chronic myeloproliferative neoplasm in the context of creating awareness about this rare unusual presentation.
