Nowadays he is still under the treatment of acute myeloid leukemia without recurrence of temporal granulocytic sarcoma.Conclusion: Granulocytic sarcoma involving temporal bones is rare. Its diagnosis depends on immunohistochemistry. Systemic chemotherapy is the first therapeutic choice. Surgical application should be limited to biopsy and symptomatic relief.
