Granulocytic sarcoma of the brain revealed on vascular mode

Granulocytic sarcoma is a rare tumor composed of immature granulocytic cells. Prognosis is poor. The dura and orbits are preferentially involved. An intracranial localization is unusual. We report the case of a 31-year-old man who was admitted with a history of headache and vomiting. The neurological examination revealed hemiplegia. Computed and tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) showed a lesion which was interpreted as a meningioma. After surgical resection, pathology examination led to the diagnosis of granulocytic sarcoma. The clinical and radiological features of this case are discussed with reference to other reports in the literature.
