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.
