AbstractAcute myeloid leukemia (AML) affects middle-aged adults. When the disease involves soft tissue, it is called granulocytic sarcoma (GS). GS can be present in the gastrointestinal tract but involvement of the appendix is uncommon. Furthermore, infiltration of the appendix by leukemic cells is also a rare manifestation of leukemia relapse (1). Here, we report a 50-year-old man with AML who was presented with acute appendicitis and treated successfully by surgery.Keywords: Acute Myeloid Leukemia, Appendisitis, Leukemic Appendisitis, Granulocytic SarcomaÖzetAkut myeloid lösemi orta yaş grubunu etkileyen bir lösemi alt tipidir.
