Granulocytic sarcoma, or chloroma, is an uncommon presentation of acute leukemia. Cardiac involvement is very rare and usually diagnosed at autopsy. We present a case that discloses the essential role of transesophageal echocardiography for its in vivo diagnosis. The principal features with this imaging technique are finely described.
粒细胞肉瘤,即绿色瘤,是急性白血病的一种罕见表现形式。心脏受累非常罕见,通常在尸检时才得以诊断。我们报告一例病例,该病例揭示了经食管超声心动图在其活体诊断中的重要作用。文中对这种成像技术的主要特征进行了详细描述。
