Abstract:
Clinical and pathological manifestation of leukemic involvement of the central nervous system have been known from any years. Infiltration and enlargement of organ is quite common in acute leukemia ; however, the formation of solid tumor masses is very rare. Most of the described tumor occur predominantly around the orbits or arise from bones, with only a few cases of soft tissue tumors reported. A case of chloroma is reported, in which a large solid tumor of immature granulocytic cells was over the cerebral convexity compressing the brain diffusely on the right and not preceded by myelogenic leukemia.
