F. Velasco et al., MENINGIOMA-LIKE INTRACRANIAL GRANULOCYTIC SARCOMA (CHLOROMA) - RADIOLOGIC AND SURGICAL FINDINGS, Revista de Investigacion Clinica, 45(5), 1993, pp. 473-478
We present the case of a 23 years old female with chronic granulocytic
leukemia and two intracranial tumors with all the radiological charac
teristics of intracranial meningiomas. Successful removal of the large
st tumor was accomplished using the technique described for meningioma
s. The recovery was very good and the histopathologic diagnosis was of
granulocytic sarcoma. Radiotheraphy of the second tumor reduced the t
umor mass within one month leaving the patient neurologically intact.
We recommend surgery in the future treatment of large chloromas.
