Chronic lower limb ulcer? No--chloroma!
Extra medullary deposits are often associated with myeloproliferative disorders, especially with myeloid neoplasia. These are called granulocytic sarcoma, aleukemic leukemia cutis, myeloblastoma, chloroleukemia, extra-medullary myeloid tumor, and chloroma. They commonly present in the bone, periosteum, soft tissue, lymph nodes, and the skin but can occur anywhere. The authors present their experience with a patient with no history of neoplasm presented with a nonhealing ulcer of the lower limb that was a chloroma associated with chronic myeloid leukemia.
