  • Title: A case of polycythaemia vera presenting with intramuscular chest wall haematoma.
    Author: Kheterpal S, Sayegh F, Cader A.
    Journal: Postgrad Med J; 1992 May; 68(799):381-2. PubMed ID: 1630988.
    Abstract:
    A 40 year old male, previously well, presented with a posterior chest wall haematoma. Computerized tomography and ultrasound showed this to be intramuscular. Haematological indices were consistent with a diagnosis of polycythaemia vera. The haematoma and indices responded to hydroxyurea and venesection. This rare presentation of polycythaemia vera in a young person is described and the haemorrhagic complications of polycythaemia vera discussed.
