Abstract
The terms "chloroma," "myeloid sarcoma," and "granulocytic sarcoma" (GS) all refer to a terrible subtype of myeloid leukaemia. Acute Myeloid Leukemia (AML) is a hematologic cancer that can occasionally colonise extramedullary locations like the skin, gingiva, central nervous system (CNS), orbit, liver, or, in rare cases, the tongue, leading to a variety of appearances. Here, we discuss the case of a 30-year-old man who arrived with hepatomegaly and a tongue ulcer that appeared to be malignant. After examination, it was determined that it was a myeloid sarcoma of the tongue and liver, which ultimately revealed an underlying AML.
