Abstract
Chloroma, or, according to the modern classification, chlorleukemia, belongs to the group of acute leukemias - sarcoleukemias. The disease is characterized by the development of local tumor-like growths of a greenish color, emanating most often from the periosteum and having aggressive growth. Unlike malignant neoplasms, chloroma does not metastasize, but differs in its tendency to generalization, which is expressed in the occurrence of heterotropic foci of hematopoiesis in many organs. With infiltrating growth, chloroma grows into surrounding tissues and puts pressure on neighboring organs. The preferred localization of chloroma is the bones of the skull, especially the orbital area, as well as the lymph nodes. However, chloromatous growths, diffuse or nodular, can affect all other organs.
