“…Heinle et al (1966) in describing three cases of PRV associated with CLL lymphoma and multiple myeloma, respectively, referred to the possibility of a unified histogenesis involving these disorders while Bethard et al (1953) suggested that these two disorders are probably unrelated. Vianna and Essman (1971) noted a suppression of CLL by PRV in one patient in whom the two diseases co-existed.…”

“…The association of polycythaemia (rubra) vera (PRV) with various lymphoproliferative disorders has been reported occasionally in the literature (Bethard, Block and Robson, 1953;De Baker and Lawrence, 1951;Heinle et al, 1966;Vianna and Essman, 1971). The association between PRV and chronic lymphocytic leukaemia (CLL) would appear to be rare.…”

“…In some other patients, a combination of multiple myeloma and polycythaemia Vera has been noted. Of 13 well documented cases with this combination, only three were found to have platelet counts above 400000/mm3 (1,3,4,6,7,9,13); the highest value was 730000/mm3 (4).…”

A report is presented on two patients with the very rare combination of thrombocythaemia and multiple myeloma. Both patients displayed an increase in monoclonal immunoglobulin in the serum, an increased amount of plasma cells in the bone marrow, and multiple osteolytic lesions in the skeleton, along with a platelet count exceeding 1 mill./mm3, haemorrhagic diathesis, and thromboembolic complications. In case 1, both diseases reacted favourably to treatment with melphalan during a 36‐month follow‐up. In case 2, the thrombocythaemia had been brought under control with busulphan prior to the diagnosis of myeloma. The latter patient died before initiation of treatment of the myeloma. The significance of the combination is discussed.

“…The most common cause of polycythemia in the setting of non-Hodgkin's lymphoma is PRV. 3 To the best of our knowledge, paraneoplastic polycythemia secondary to EPO production by small lymphocytic lymphoma has not been previously reported in the literature. 3 To the best of our knowledge, paraneoplastic polycythemia secondary to EPO production by small lymphocytic lymphoma has not been previously reported in the literature.…”

“…1,2 The diagnosis is usually based on the findings of elevated EPO level, erythrocytosis, normal bone marrow stem cell culture studies, and absence of EPOindependent erythroid colony growth, as well as lack of secondary causes. 3,4 This association has been reported to occur either concomitantly 4 or as a second malignancy in patients with previously diagnosed PRV. 3,4 This association has been reported to occur either concomitantly 4 or as a second malignancy in patients with previously diagnosed PRV.…”
