Granulocytic sarcoma is a rare haematological neoplasm due to extramedullary leukemic deposits. Granulocytic Sarcoma of ovary is even rare associated with chronic myeloid leukaemia and responds to imatinib treatment. A strong vigilance is required. Here we report a case of granulocytic sarcoma of ovary in a 31 year old female with primary infertility being provisionally diagnosed as ovarian tumour. Later on, after complete haematological investigation and fine needle aspiration cytology of ovarian tumour, the case is found to be of granulocytic sarcoma associated with chronic myeloid leukaemia. The aim of documenting this case report is to establish the possibility of granulocytic sarcoma in unusual site which was initially thought to be of nonhematological malignancy and proved by tissue diagnosis to be of haematological malignancy.
