Granulocytic sarcoma (chloroma) of the small intestine.

Granulocytic sarcoma or Chloroma may develop before, at the time or after presentation of acute myeloid leukemia. We report the case of a 66-year old man presenting with intermittent abdominal pain during one month before developing a peritonitis due to perforation of small bowel followed by irreversible shock and death. Nearly the entire length of small bowel and bone marrow were infiltrated by giant promyelocytic cells. Abnormal circulating cells were never discovered. The literature is briefly reviewed.

Deep femoral artery aneurysm rupture. A case report.

Primary "atherosclerotic" aneurysms of the profunda femoris are rare. Although they commonly present with rapid enlargement or rupture, only 8 ruptured cases have been found in the literature. We report a new case where the preoperative diagnosis was established by Duplex ultrasonography. Angiography was made for surgical management. Simple ligation was effective. Pathogenesis, clinical presentation, radio-graphic findings and surgical treatment are discussed.
