ABSTRACT
Granulocytic sarcoma (GS) of the breast is extremely rare in patients with acute myeloid leukemia (AML) and therefore, is often misdiagnosed as lymphoma or other benign tumors. The current report presents two cases of GS of the breast, of which, one was considered to be a fibroma, as observed by fine-needle aspiration, and the other was misdiagnosed as lymphoma by frozen section. Previous literature that described the clinical and pathological characteristics, treatments and prognosis of GS of the breast in AML were reviewed. In addition to the treatment of mastectomy with/without radiotherapy, lumpectomy may also be received as a good treatment plan.
