Cerebral myeloid sarcoma (Chloroma): Report of a rare entity.
Article in International journal of surgery case reports, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
introduction and importanceMyeloid sarcoma is a rare, malignant solid tumor composed of the progenitor cells of the myeloid lineage. Often associated with acute myeloid leukemia. Intracranial localization is very rare and diagnosis is confirmed by immunohistochemistry. The purpose of this case is to highlight the diagnostic and surgical treatment of a pathologically confirmed case of cerebral myeloid sarcoma. CASE PRESENTATION: We present the case of a 28-year-old Tunisian man who was diagnosed with AML in 2019, went into remission and was admitted to hospital with headaches and visual disturbances. Cranial MRI revealed an intra-axial parieto-occipital lesion on the left side. The patient underwent a successful surgical removal of the tumor. Immunohistochemistry confirms a cerebral myeloid sarcoma. CLINICAL DISCUSSION: Myeloid sarcoma is a rare condition. It is mainly found on skin and soft tissue. Intracranial localization is very rare. The clinical presentation of myeloid sarcoma varies depending on the location of the lesion. Histochemistry studies are essential for accurate diagnosis. There is no consensus on the treatment of myeloid sarcoma and different treatment strategies have been used. Surgery plays a key role in alleviating the symptoms of the mass effect, in confirming the diagnosis and in removing the major lesions before initiating systemic therapy.
conclusionCerebral myeloid sarcomas are uncommon. Intracranial mass should be strongly considered in acute myeloid leukemia patients. Conventional chemotherapy for AML is still the primary treatment for myeloid sarcomas, followed by surgery and possibly radiation.
