Granulocytic Sarcoma Mimicking Cholesteatoma: Beware the Temporal Bone in Haematological Patients.

Granulocytic sarcoma is a myeloid neoplasm that can occur in isolation or in association with acute leukaemia. The temporal bone represents a sanctuary site for myeloid progenitors: granulocytic sarcoma may develop in this location before or concomitantly with the onset of acute leukaemia. This atypical presentation with clinical and radiological data that closely mimic those of cholesteatoma often delays an accurate diagnosis.
