Expansion

I've expanded the page, and I will get back to it soon to finish up the categories I've put in. MastCell 00:13, 15 August 2006 (UTC)

Name change?

According to a pre-publication article put online July 7 at the J Clin Oncol Web site, myeloid sarcoma is the new term for this disease. Here is the first sentence of the article:

Myeloid sarcoma (MS; previously designed as granulocytic sarcoma or chloroma) is a rare extramedullary tumor composed of immature myeloid cells at different stages of differentiation.

So, do we need to change the name of this Wikipedia article, and have a redirect page? --Spiff666 (talk) 17:06, 11 July 2008 (UTC)

Yes, good pickup. I seem to recall that this article was originally under chloroma, and I moved it here thinking it was the preferred nomenclature at the time. There's definitely been a shift toward myeloid sarcoma, so feel free to move it - I think that's (currently) the most appropriate article title. Once you move it, granulocytic sarcoma should automatically be a redirect. MastCell ^Talk 17:57, 11 July 2008 (UTC)

Support. (It's updated in MeSH - note the "2008" under "History Note". --Arcadian (talk) 21:10, 11 July 2008 (UTC)

Although the name of the article was changed to "myeloid sarcoma", the vast majority of the article refers to the prior term "chloroma"… for consistency's sake, if the title has been changed then the rest of the article should be updated as well. Jet14 (talk) 19:43, 3 August 2012 (UTC)
