Intracerebellar chloroma (granulocytic sarcoma): a neurosurgical complication of acute myelocytic leukemia.

M J Demaray, J P Coladonato, J C Parker, H L Rosomoff.   

Abstract

A discrete intracerebellar mass of myeloblasts was found in a 26-year-old woman with acute myelocytic leukemia in remission. This chloroma (granulocytic sarcoma) was treated successfully by surgical extirpation. An aggressive neurosurgical role seems appropriate in handling central nervous system leukemic nodules in view of the improved patient survival created by current chemotherapy regimens.
