Chloroma or granulocytic sarcoma (GS) is a malignant neoplasm of myeloid lineage that occur in a variety of anatomic sites other than the bone marrow including soft tissue, bone, lymph node, nasal fossa, skin and sometime in the orbit. In the subconjunctiva it is rarely reported. A 4-year-old girl with a history of treated acute myelogenous leukemia was referred to Farabi Eye Hospital, Tehra...

BSERVATIONS on human chloroleukemic tissue have shown that it contains porphyrin, which accounts for its red fluorescence in Wood’s light1 and an enzyme, myeloperoxydase (or verdoperoxydase), to which the green color of the chloroleukemic tissue is due.2 In recent years many chloroleukemic tumors have been described in animals where the tumor tissue also contained porphyrin and myeloperoxydase....

Granulocytic Sarcoma (GS), an unusual extramedullary tumor, is composed of immature granulocytic precursor cells. The intraoral occurrence of this tumor is extremely rare. Here, we report a case of GS with palatal swelling, gingival lesions in maxilla and mandible and aleukemic presentation in a 45- year- old male.

The authors report on their unique experience with a patient harboring a cervical spinal myeloid sarcoma presenting with cervical radiculopathy and neck pain. The authors succinctly present a rare clinical presentation of cervical radiculopathy and neck pain in an otherwise healthy 43-year-oldman. Their diagnostic workup revealed a posterior extradural extramedullary epidural and soft tissue ce...
