  • Title: [Uterine leiomyoma as cause of erythrocytosis].
    Author: Kunz J, Bleisch J.
    Journal: Praxis (Bern 1994); 2006 Aug 16; 95(33):1227-31. PubMed ID: 16939124.
    Abstract:
    Myoma-induced erythrocytosis is a rare clinical picture which is probably largely misunderstood. Pre- and postmenopausal women are affected. The characteristics of this syndrome are raised haemoglobin and haematocrit values, erythrocytosis at normal plasma volumes and the fact that these values are promptly and permanently corrected by myomectomy or hysterectomy. Myomatous erythrocytosis syndrome (MES) can be the explanation of normal haematological parameters in patients with myoma-related hypermenorrhoea and menorrhagia.
