title: Intracerebral chloromas. Report of a case and review of the literature.
abstract: We report a patient with large intracerebral chloromas while in systemic remission from acute myelogenous leukemia. A favourable outcome resulted from surgical debulking and radiotherapy. Review of other reported cases in the literature showed a uniform female occurrence. We believe that intracerebral chloromas represent reactivation of sanctuary deposits in the central nervous system. The treatment of intracerebral chloroma is discussed.
