Abstract

This report describes an unusual case of bilateral metachronous granulocytic sarcoma of the breast. The patient initially did not have evidence of leukemia and her marrow cell culture in soft agar (CFU‐C array) showed normal in vitro growth pattern. The patient was treated with systemic chemotherapy at a time when there was no evidence for systemic disease but she nevertheless developed meningeal leukemia and bone marrow disease 11 and 18 months, respectively, following the initial chemotherapy.
