Granulocytic sarcoma is an uncommon malignant soft tissue lesion that really represents a hematologic malignancy; it is a soft tissue manifestation of acute myeloid leukemia. It is not a sarcoma.
Numerous other terms refer to this including extramedullary leukemia,[1] myeloid sarcoma and chloroma.
Less common terms include:[2] myeloblastoma, chloromyeloma, chloromyelosarcoma, granulocytic leukosarcoma, and myelosarcoma.
General
- Soft tissue manifestation of acute myeloid leukemia.[2]
Microscopic
Features:
- Cluster of atypical small blue cells in soft tissue.
Note:
- May mimic small cell carcinoma, large cell lymphomas (DLBCL, ALCL), small round cell tumours.
Images
Chloroma - intermed. mag. (WC)
Chloroma - high mag. (WC)
Chloroma - very high mag. (WC)
www:
- Granulocytic sarcoma - several crappy images (upmc.edu).
- Myeloid sarcoma - several images (upmc.edu).
Sign out
- It is prudent to mention acute myeloid leukemia somewhere in the report to ensure the appropriate referral is made.
