Chloroma may be regarded as an unusual form of myeloid leukemia in which a prominent feature is the deposition of tumour-like masses of myeloid cells in the skeleton (especially in the subperiosteal zones), lymph nodes and viscera. The diagnosis of orbital chloroma can be established by radiology and hematological examinations. The shapes of the tumors were ovoid in 12 patients and irregular Pediatr Radiol 1995; 25:488-489 [Google Scholar] AIM Orbital granulocytic sarcoma is a localised tumour composed of cells of myeloid origin. The masses were most commonly located in the orbital cavity (n=8); other locations included lymph nodes (n=5) and palatine/pharyngeal/lingual tonsils (n=3). The diagnosis of orbital chloroma can be established by radiology and hematological examinations. years.3,4 Orbital chloromas present as proptosis, orbital tumour, dacrocystitis or orbital cellulitis, with leukemic or atypical cells seen on histopathology.5 The present work reports an unusual case of a two and half years old girl with Down syndrome with simultaneous presentation of cheek chloroma and Acute CONCLUSIONS: Orbital chloroma can be easily misdiagnosed as other types of malignant orbital tumor in children. In 4 following cases, 2 cases were died within 3 months. Granulocytic sarcoma, also known as chloroma or extramedullary myeloblastoma, is a rare solid tumor composed of primitive precursors of the granulocytic series of WBC that include myeloblasts, promyelocytes, and myelocytes [].This tumor was first described by Burns in 1811. The orbit is a particularly frequent site of involvement. There was diffuse hyperostosis of the … This tumor can be treated by chemotherapy and radiotherapy. Radiologic images are essential for determine specific diagnosis in most cases of pediatric orbital pathology. Orbital biopsy documented an unusual presentation of childhood pseudotumor. The diagnosis of orbital chloroma can be established by radiology and hematological examinations. Abstract Granulocytic sarcoma is an uncommon manifestation of myelogenous leukemias in which focal masses of immature myeloid cells from the granulocytic lineage infiltrate bone and soft tissue. Dr. ... (Chloroma) in HIV/AIDS. Am J Ophthalmol 1975; 80:975-990. The orbits develop throughout childhood and congenital absence of the globe, enucleation, or radiotherapy results in failure of normal orbital growth. Occurrence is more common in acute rather than chronic myelogenous leukemia. A radiographic skeletal survey demonstrated hyperostosis of the orbital walls, maxillary and mandibular bones. This tumor can be treated by chemotherapy and radiotherapy. Intracranial chloroma may exhibit intermediate or high attenuation with moderate edema and peripheral contrast enhancement. CONCLUSIONS: Orbital chloroma can be easily misdiagnosed as other types of malignant orbital tumor in children. In 1811, Allen Burns first reported this as a green tumour involving the orbit.1 The characteristic green colour is derived from the enzyme myeloperoxidase (MPO). 4. PMID: 22177127 [PubMed - indexed for MEDLINE] International Journal of Anatomy, Radiology … Chloroma may precede the onset of leukemia or occur in bone marrow remission. Granulocytic sarcoma is an uncommon manifestation of myelogenous leukemias in which focal masses of immature myeloid cells from the granulocytic lineage infiltrate bone and soft tissue. Orbital blowout fracture and vitreous hemorrhage All Posts ... •1853: King initially called it chloroma, because typical forms have a green color caused by high levels of myeloperoxidase in the immature cells. We retrospectively reviewed clinical manifestations and MRI findings of 23 patients with histopathology-confirmed LCH of the orbit. Orbital myeloid sarcoma (chloroma) as an initial symptom of acute myeloid leukemia (AML), is a rare medical condition. It consists of immature cells of the granulocytic series. streptococci. Sino-orbital granulocytic sarcoma is a rare manifestation of leukemia. Summary and conclusion. ... Waller RR: Orbital … Multiple lesions were found in 6 patients. It is most common in the pediatric population and may present at any time in the course of the disease, either concurrently with the onset of leukemia or during a remission or relapse. Chloroma (myeloid or granulocytic sarcoma) is a rare type of tumour comprising immature granulocytic cells. High risk subgroup of acute It is most common in the pediatric population and may present at any time in the course of the disease, either concurrently with the onset of leukemia or during a remission or relapse. J Comput Assist Tomogr 1987;11 :938-941 3. Radiologic images are essential for determine specific diagnosis in most cases of pediatric orbital pathology. CONCLUSIONS: Orbital chloroma can be easily misdiagnosed as other types of malignant orbital tumor in children. Keywords: orbital, tumors, proptosis, hemangioma, rhabdomyosarcoma, neuroblastoma, chloroma, synovial sarcoma, magnetic ressonance imaging, radiology Orbital tumors in children are very rare and radiologic image, as magnetic resonance, is extremely important for correct diagnosis. Orbital granulocytic sarcoma (chloroma), a rare tumor of immature myeloid cells, has nonspecific clinical and radiological features that make it a diagnostic challenge. But the presence of chloroma does not alter the rate of remission after chemotherapy . Orbital disease secondary to acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) is rare, particularly in the adult population. Granulocytic sarcoma of the orbit, also known as chloroma, is an extramedullary form of myelogenous leukemia. Cavdar AO.

(b) Coronal CT image in bone window reveals bone destruction in the medial orbital wall.The lesion extends into the ethmoid sinuses and the nasal cavities. The mass sizes varied from a mean diameter of 1.3 to 5.8 cm (average, 2.6 cm). cytic sarcoma (chloroma): CT Manifestations. Sixteen cases were referred to the department of hematology for treatment. Background. Radiology 1985;155: 167-170 2. Histological diagnosis can be difficult in patients with poorly differentiated orbital tumours and no evidence of systemic leukaemia. of orbital tumors, comparing their images and clinical aspects. The tumor extends into the left ethmoid sinus. Sato Y, Barloon T J. Intracranial granulocytic sarcoma (chloroma): MR findings. However, the overall death secondary to overt leukemic disease varies from 1 to 30 months after the onset of tumor symptoms . We report six cases of different diagnosis of orbital tumors, comparing their images and clinical aspects. (a) Axial CT image in soft-tissue window reveals large irregular soft-tissue mass in the left orbit.The mass is poor-demarcated and heterogeneous density. Children with acquired orbital disorders most commonly present with signs and symptoms of a mass leading to proptosis or non-axial displacement, soft tissue signs, and/or a palpable orbital mass. The tumors are slow growing with periods of growth and dormancy,97, 98 some may regress completely.99, 100 In an analysis of affected orbital locations, 48% involved the orbital optic nerve, 24% the orbital and intracranial optic nerve, 10% intracranial optic nerve and chiasm, and just chiasm in up to 5%. CONCLUSIONS: Orbital chloroma can be easily misdiagnosed as other types of malignant orbital tumor in children. Radiology 190:698–702 PubMed Google Scholar 4. The skull and orbital regions are especially affected, giving the so-called “chloromatous facies.” There was soft tissue swelling around the mandible (Figure 2). This constitutes about 3/5 th of all the orbital pathologies out of which about 85% is due to the thyroid ophthalmopathy.
