Granulocytic sarcoma (chloroma) is an uncommon malignant neoplasm associated with myelogenous leukemias. Its appearance may precede the clinical manifestations of the acute leukemic phase by months to years. We report the CT findings of a case of bilateral intraorbital granulocytic sarcoma which preceded the blast phase of acute myelogenous leukemia (AML) and led to its diagnosis. An awareness of granulocytic sarcoma and its CT appearance may expedite the diagnosis of AML or prompt close monitoring of those cases of granulocytic sarcoma antedating the appearance of AML.
粒细胞肉瘤(绿色瘤)是一种与骨髓性白血病相关的罕见恶性肿瘤。其出现可能比急性白血病期的临床表现提前数月至数年。我们报告一例双侧眶内粒细胞肉瘤的CT表现,该病例先于急性髓性白血病(AML)的原始细胞期出现并促成了其诊断。认识粒细胞肉瘤及其CT表现可能会加快AML的诊断,或促使对那些先于AML出现的粒细胞肉瘤病例进行密切监测。
