Granulocytic sarcoma (chloroma) is a rare tumor almost always associated with leukemia. Intraaxial brain lesions are rare, and can mimic infection or primary neoplasm. This intracerebellar chloroma arose after autologous bone marrow transplantation in a 29-year-old woman with leukemia. On T1-weighted MR images, the lesion was isointense with gray matter, and enhanced homogeneously. On T2-weight...

Well-coupled mitochondria of hematopoietic tumors were iso lated from mouse erythroleukemia and rat chloroma tumors grown in male DBA/2J mice and Long-Evans rats, respectively. We used erythroleukemia and chloroma mitochondria to deter mine their ability to utilize glutamine as an energy source for adenosine triphosphate formation. Oxypolarographic tests showed the following, (a) Presence of a ...

testicular chloroma is an unusual form of extramedullary acute myeloid leukemia. we present a rare case that after chemotherapy relapsed with the appearance of metachronous testicular chloroma and we suggest prophylactic radiotherapy.

granulocytic sarcomas (chloromas) are rare extramedullary tumors consisting of primitive granulocytic cells. we report here on a case of a 23-year-old man who presented with a generalized swelling. he is known case of acute myelomonocytic leukemia. granulocytic sarcomas are rare, destructive, extramedullary tumor masses that consist of immature granulocytic cells. in this unusual patient's case...

Leukemia is the most common malignancy of childhood. Chloromas are rare presentations of underlying leukemic disease. It is important to diagnose these cases early in the course as they respond more favourably to focal irradiation. We present a rare case of chloroma of orbit in a young male patient who presented with severe proptosis and a large mass involving the left orbit. The orbital lesion...
