摘要：

Isolated chloromas (granulocytic sarcomas) are rare tumours. Chloromas are masses composed of immature granulocytic cells. Granulocytic sarcoma occurs primarily in patients with acute myelogenous leukaemia, but can also arise in patients with other myeloprolifierative disorders. We present an adult case of chloroma in HIV patient, which occurred as sudden death. Skin examination of right thigh showed dyschromia. Longitudinal incision of muscle revealed a "dark green" infiltration. Pathology showed in muscle fragments a infiltrate of granulocytes. The histologic sections of the excised tumour confirmed the cytologic diagnosis of chloroma. (C) 2004 Elsevier Ireland Ltd. All rights reserved.
