Erythrocytosis associated with a dermoid cyst of the ovary and erythropoietic activity of the tumour fluid.

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.

Urinary granulopoietic activity in chronic myelogenous leukemia: follow-up and correlation with various phases of the disease.

Daily urinary colony-stimulating factor (CSF) output was tested in 16 patients with chronic myeloid leukemia, 12 of which were in stable phase and 4 in blast crisis of the disease. The CSF of stable-phase patients varied within normal range, while all patients in blast crisis had values lower than normal. Also the number of CFUC ranged within normal values in stable-phase patients, while no colony growth was detectable in blast-crisis patients. Sequential studies (28 or 11 months) of 2 patients revealed an inverse relation between daily urinary CSF and presence of peripheral immature or blast cells in the patient in stable or blast phase, respectively.
