A patient with dermoid cyst of the ovary and erythrocytosis is described. Surgical removal of the tumour was followed by a progressive decrease of the red cell mass with remission of the haematological abnormalities. Tumor fluid contained significant erythropoietic stimulating activity. This seems to be the first documented case of erythrocytosis associated with ovarian cyst.
A case of nonproductor myeloma is reported. The diagnosis was supported by the radiological findings, the heavy marrow infiltration of malignant plasma cells, the absence of a monoclonal component in the serum or urine and the failure to demonstrate intracytoplasmic immunoglobulins with immunoifluorescent techniques. The clinical findings of our patient are similar to those reported for the 5 cases of nonproductor myeloma described so far, indicating that there are no characteristic features differentiating nonproductor myeloma from productor myelomas.
