Case Reports[Granulocytic sarcoma of the tonsils associated with myelodysplastic syndrome].
A 60-year-old man with anaemia was found to have a myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS) which was classified as refractory anemia with ringsideroblasts (RAEB). Because of severe fever the patient was hospitalized. Waldeyer's throat ring revealed signs of acute inflammation. ⋯ Granulocytic sarcoma is rarely associated with myelodysplastic syndrome. Deficiency in the immune system may facilitate the occurrence of miliary tuberculosis.
