Granulocytic sarcomas (GS) are tumor masses of immature myeloid cells presenting at an extramedullary site, mainly the skin, bone, and lymph node. They are often associated with acute myeloid leukemia (AML) with monoblastic or myelomonocytic differentiation, including either AML M2 with t(8;21)(q22;q22) or AML M4Eo with inv(16)(p13q22). We present a case diagnosed with GS associated with AML M4 that presented a normal karyotype with conventional cytogenetic analysis. Although the myeloblasts did not show the inv(16)(p13q22) (CBFB/MYH11), a gain of multiple copies of the CBFB gene was detected with fluorescence in situ hybridization analysis. To our knowledge, no cases with this rare genetic anomaly have been previously described.

Despite the increasing demand for sustainable development of pharmaceutical companies due to the rigorous pressure of environmental regulation, public health crisis and economic competition, there has been little research on relevant evaluation models. The COVID-19 experience has also prompted investors in pharmaceutical companies to re-examine the impact of environment and ethics on business development. Therefore, pharmaceutical companies need to focus on their performance, especially on the shift from a single financial performance to an integrated performance.
