Intracerebral leukemic mass in acute myelogenous leukemia

Abstract

Leukemic intracranial space occupying lesions are rare. A 69 year old man with acute myelogenous leukemia was found to have an intracranial leukemic mass at the time of his remission period. Computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging study demonstrated a large irregular mass in the right temporal lobe. After total removal of the tumor, the patient was treated with whole brain irradiation and intrathecal chemotherapy. After surviving for 7 months, the patient expired of hematologic relapse.

Isolated Recurrence of Granulocytic Sarcoma Manifesting as Extra- and Intracranial Masses

“…13) Review of eight reported cases concluded that immediate prophylactic systemic chemotherapy for granulocytic sarcoma during bone marrow remission would lead to favorable outcomes. 38) Our patient received systemic chemotherapy and whole neural axis irradiation, and achieved complete remission.…”

Granulocytic Sarcoma with Orbit, Cauda Equina, Muscle and Peripheral Nerve Extension but without Bone Marrow Involvement

“…The most common sites of involvement are the bone, periosteum, soft tissue, lymph nodes and skin (6)(7)(8)(9). It is often seen in perineural and epidural structures causing compression of the central and peripheral nervous system (10)(11)(12). GS …”

Case report: central neurocytoma with concomitant cerebral involvement by acute lymphatic leukemia

“…Despite of the rarity, the meninges represent an important site of relapse [9]. Regarding intracerebral masses, they are sometimes seen as a complication of acute myelogenous leukemia [10].…”
