Abstract
• Paraplegia developed in a 70-year-old man with a 15-year history of polycythemia rubra vera and a two-year history of myelofibrosis, due to extensive epidural involvement by extramedullary hematopoiesis. Early diagnosis and aggressive therapy is essential if permanent paralysis is to be avoided.Keywords
