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.

Simultaneous occurrence of polycythemia vera and Waldenstrom macroglobulinemia: a case report and review of the literature.
Saba NF, Warth JA, Ross DG.
Haematologia (Budap). 2002;32(1):17-23.
Lymphoproliferative disorders reported to occur simultaneously with polycythemia vera include chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL), non-Hodgkin's lymphoma (NHL), and acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL).

Morphometric evaluation of paraneoplastic neuropathies associated with carcinomas, lymphomas, and dysproteinemias.
Wang JF, Schroder JM.
J Peripher Nerv Syst. 1998;3(4):259-66.
Paraneoplastic peripheral neuropathies are caused by indirect effects of carcinomas, mainly small cell bronchogenic carcinomas, lymphoproliferative disorders (lymphomas, myelomas, polycythemia vera), and dysproteinemias (benign monoclonal paraproteinemia, Waldenstrom's macroglobulinemia) including cryoglobulinemias.

Acute lymphoblastic leukemia in a patient with longstanding polycythemia vera: cytogenetic analysis reveals two distinct abnormal clones.
Anastasi J, Pettenati MJ, Le Beau MM, Kwaan HC, Weil SC.
Am J Hematol. 1988;29(1):33-7.
These findings suggest the existence of two independent hematologic diseases: this phenomenon would not support the speculation from previous reports that lymphoproliferative disorders in patients with polycythemia vera arise from clonal evolution.
