Polycythemia vera

Polycythemia vera (PV) is an acquired myeloproliferative disorder characterized by an elevated absolute red blood cell mass caused by uncontrolled red blood cell production, frequently associated with uncontrolled white blood cell and platelet production.

Neoplasm

An organ or organ-system abnormality that consists of uncontrolled autonomous cell-proliferation which can occur in any part of the body as a benign or malignant neoplasm (tumour).

The primitive cells resembled proerythroblasts, and this tumour, thought to be an acute type neoplasm of the erythroid system, was distinguishable from chronic erythremic myelosis and polycythemia vera.

The association of polycythemia vera (PV) and lymphoid neoplasms in the same patient is very unusual in the absence of previous cytotoxic therapy.
