title: CNS chloromas in patients presenting with eosinophilia.
abstract: A patient presented with hypereosinophilia for 3 years followed by acute leukemia with intracranial chloroma. Eight of 15 reported cases of myeloproliferative disorder accompanied by hypereosinophilia developed meningeal chloromas, suggesting a previously unrecognized association between eosinophilia, acute leukemia, and CNS chloroma.
