RESUMO
A case of granulocytic sarcoma without the peripheral blood findings of myelogenous leukemia is described. The patient was a 33 year old male who developed numerous osteolytic lesions. On the basis of examination of bone marrow material, an initial diagnosis of "nonsecretory" multiple myeloma was made. Subsequent studies by electron microscopy and enzymatic histochemistry revealed the neoplastic cells to be composed of early myelogenous precursors indicative of granulocytic sarcoma.

The role of adenovirus as an etiologic agent of hepatic damage has been controversial. A fatal case of adenovirus infection with fulminant hepatitis in a young immunosuppressed adult patient is presented. Intranuclear inclusions were confined to the liver. Electron microscopy revealed crystalline arrays of virions within hepatocytes. This is apparently the first reported case of adenovirus hepatitis occurring in an adult. Adenovirus hepatitis represents another hazard for the immunosuppressed patient.
