Abstract
A 25-year-old man suffering from acute myeloid leukaemia developed a solitary lesion on the upper abdominal wall 6 months after receiving an autologous bone marrow transplant. The lesion was a chloroma and proved to be the only evidence of clinical relapse. This is the first reported case of this rare condition occurring following bone marrow transplantation.
