  • Title: [Granulocytic sarcoma (chloroma) of small bowel: an unfrequent cause of intestinal obstruction].

    Journal: Gastroenterol Hepatol; 2003; 26(6):347-50. PubMed ID: 12809571.
    Abstract:
    Granulocytic sarcoma or chloroma is a malignant extra medullar tumor, based on inmature myeloid cells. It usually emerges as a secondary manifestation of acute myeloid leukemia. Chloromas are scarcely diagnosed in patiens without hematological malignances, either peripheral or medullar, and are thus frequently misdiagnosed for other tumors. In these patients, further development of acute leukemia seems to stand as a rule. Small bowel location of these tumors has hardly been reported. A case of granulocytic sarcoma in a non-leukemic at time of diagnosis patient is reported therein. Medical literature is briefly reviewed.
