J Pediatr Hematol Oncol. 2009 Dec;31(12):977-9. doi: 10.1097/MPH.0b013e3181b78951.

Abstract

Chloromas are not frequently seen in patients with acute myelogenous leukemia and chloromas involving cardiac structures have only been rarely reported in the literature. We report a complete radiographic response to low-dose fractionated radiotherapy in a patient with an intracardiac chloroma.
