ABSTRACT
Granulocytic sarcomas are localized extramedullary deposits of myeloid leukemia cells. These tumors are considered to be specific lesions of acute myeloid
leukemia or the onset of a blast crisis in chronic myelogenous leukemia. Granulocytic sarcoma can occur anywhere in the body. Involvement of the larynx
by hemopoietic tumors is considered as a rare event. The predominant symptoms are difficulty of breath and hoarseness. We presented a patient with laryngeal
granulocytic sarcoma involving the epiglottis, left vocal cord and aryepiglottic fold.
Keywords: Larynx; granulocytic sarcoma; chronic granulocytic leukemia
ÖZET
Granülositik sarkom miyeloid lösemik hücrelerin ekstramedüller olarak depolanmış halidir. Bu tümörler akut miyeloid löseminin veya kronik myeloid löseminin
blast krizinin baslangıç döneminin spesifik lezyonları olarak kabul edilir. Granülositik sarkom vücudun herhangi bir yerinde olusabilir. Hemopoetik
tümörler tarafından larenksin tutulumu nadir bir olay olarak kabul edilmektedir. En sık görülen semptomlar ses kısıklığı ve nefes almada zorluktur. Biz burada
epiglotu, sol vokal kordu ve ariepiglottik foldu tutan larengeal granülositik sarkomlu bir hastayı sunduk.
