Abstract
Granulocytic sarcomas (GS) are extra-medullary tumors of myeloblasts. These tumors constitute a rare, though well-documented, manifestation of acute myeloid leukemia (AML). Their frequency in patients with AML varies from 0.7-5%(1,2). GS may occur in any part of the body, the common sites being the subcutaneous tissue, eye orbits and paranasal sinuses(2). Cranio-spinal involvement is however uncommon. We report here two cases with such involvement.
