Abstract
The association of erythrocytosis (secondary polycythemia) and uterine fibroids was first described by Thomson and Marson1 in 1953. Since then, 8 additional cases have been reported.2 3 4 5 6 7 8 The characteristic features of this syndrome are erythrocytosis in association with a myomatous uterus and restoration of normal hematologic values after hysterectomy.In all the cases reported, except that of Zilliacus,8 the red-cell counts were over 6,100,000, and the hemoglobin values were over 18.0 gm. per 100 ml. The highest values recorded were those of a red-cell count of 8,500,000, a hemoglobin of 20.4 gm. per 100 ml. and a hematocrit of 78 vol. . . .Keywords
