[Neoplastic form of chronic erythromyelosis (erythrosarcoma) with eosinophilia and cardiac lesions].

The paper is concerned with a case history of a 24-year old man suffering from chronic erythromyelosis with erythrokaryocytic metaplasia of the peripheral lymph nodes, bone marrow, spleen, liver, heart and lungs. The hypereosinophilic syndrome and endocardial fibrosis caused diagnostic difficulties. A short-term effect after injection of the plasma from a patient with erythrocytic aplasia containing antierythroblastic antibodies was obtained, tumor tissue mass reduced. Later on courses of CAMP-therapy were initiated. The progression of disease resulted in the patient's death in 2 years.
