    Abstract:
    Hematological "masks" of malignant tumors of the internal organs are not infrequent in clinical practice. A total of 45 patients with malignant tumors of the internal organs (stomach-12, colon-9, liver-3, lungs-9, kidneys-6, pancreas-2, thyroid-2, bladder-1, prostate-1) were under observation. Hematological signs of bone marrow metastatic involvement were as follows: anemia (mainly hypochromic), leukemoid neutrophilic reaction, leukemoid reaction of myeloid type, erythrocytosis, thrombocytosis, plasmocyte bone marrow reaction. Early cancer diagnosis, especially in obscure peripheral blood changes, requires a complete all-round investigation of a patient including an analysis of clinico-anamnestic data, the use of radiographic and endoscopic methods, sternal puncture and trephine biopsy.
