Intracerebral chloroma complicating acute monocytic leukemia. 1992

Department of Neurosurgery, Medical School, University of Tübingen, Federal Republic of Germany.

We present the case of a 21-year-old woman with an acute monocytic leukemia. When she was in complete hematological remission, she developed rapid progressive hemiparesis on the right caused by a left frontoparietal chloroma as confirmed by surgery and histological examination. Postoperatively, the patient recovered completely, and x-ray therapy followed. Since intracerebral myeloblastic tumors are extremely rare and since the neurosurgeon may be involved in treatment of these lesions, we are encouraged to present our findings.

D001932	Brain Neoplasms	Neoplasms of the intracranial components of the central nervous system, including the cerebral hemispheres, basal ganglia, hypothalamus, thalamus, brain stem, and cerebellum. Brain neoplasms are subdivided into primary (originating from brain tissue) and secondary (i.e., metastatic) forms. Primary neoplasms are subdivided into benign and malignant forms. In general, brain tumors may also be classified by age of onset, histologic type, or presenting location in the brain.
