Granulocytic sarcomas are most commonly found in the context of an acute myelogenous leukemia or in chronic myelogenous leukemia.
Granulocytic sarcoma should be considered in the differential diagnosis of an epidural mass in patients with or without acute leukemia, because early diagnosis followed by appropriate combined chemotherapy and radiation may obviate surgical intervention and eventually prevent leukemic transformation.

Granulocytic sarcoma: an unusual complication of acute promyelocytic leukemia causing cerebellar hemorrhage.
Granulocytic sarcomas are rare tumors that occur primarily in patients with acute myelogenous leukemia or other myeloproliferative disorders, are seldom seen in patients with acute promyelocytic leukemia (APL), and have never been reported to occur in the cerebellum.
This is the first report to document a granulocytic sarcoma in the cerebellum as the primary presentation in a patient with APL and abnormal coagulation.

 KIT - v-kit Hardy-Zuckerman 4 feline sarcoma viral oncogene homolog   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-23)
The immunohistochemical expression of the c-kit proto-oncogene product in 40 primary breast cancer tissues (22 axillary lymph nodes negative, 18 lymph nodes positive), in 18 corresponding axillary lymph nodes, and in 10 distant metastastic tissues were studied using an anti-c-kit proto-oncogene product antibody in comparison with 20 normal and 20 benign breast tissues.
To clarify whether the stem cell factor/c-kit signaling has a paracrine role in ultraviolet-B-induced pigmentation, we determined whether the exposure of human keratinocytes, melanocytes, and the epidermis to ultraviolet B light stimulates the expression of stem cell factor or c-kit at the gene and/or protein levels.
In primary breast cancer tissues, the expression of the c-kit proto-oncogene product was often deleted and the average IRS (0.90 +/- 1.73) was significantly reduced compared to those of the normal breast tissues or benign breast disease tissues, but no significant difference was shown between the breast cancer groups.
