Granulocytic sarcoma is a rare neoplastic condition consisting of immature myeloid cells at an extra medullary site. We report a very infrequent case of ovarian granulocytic sarcoma in a patient with Philadelphia chromosome-positive acute biphenotypic leukemia who underwent emergency laparoscopic surgery (salpingo-oophorectomy), because an acute abdomen presentation.
