Disappear to appear again? Chloroma of the pelvis--a unique osseous presentation

Acta Orthop Belg. 2006 Oct;72(5):653-5.

Abstract

Osteolytic lesions caused by chloromas or extramedullary myeloid tumours have been reported before. We present a case of localised osteolysis caused by a chloroma, in which complete repair of the bony lesion occurred following chemo- and radiotherapy. We believe that this unique presentation has never been reported before in the English literature.
