Abstract

Granulocytic sarcoma is a rare disease that is rarely curable with conventional chemotherapy. This report describes a case of a patient with bulky granulocytic sarcoma of the retroperitoneum who was treated with high-dose chemotherapy and autologous peripheral blood stem cell transplantation without administering granulocyte colony-stimulating factor before stem cell collection. According to bone marrow assessment and imaging studies, the patient remained in complete remission at 5 years after transplantation. This case suggests that high-dose chemotherapy followed by autologous peripheral blood stem cell transplantation is a therapeutic option for granulocytic sarcoma.
