[Deep thrombophlebitis in polycythemia and uterine fibromyoma]. / Dyb tromboflebit ved polycytaemi og fibromyoma uteri.

ABSTRACT

A case of thrombophlebitis in the lower extremity caused by a large uterine fibromyoma which produced secondary polycytaemia is described. It is concluded that control of Hb and erythrocyte volume fraction is necessary in patients with uterine fibromyoma. In cases of polycytaemia, hysterectomy is recommended after treatment of the polycytaemia. Examination of patients with a secondary polycytaemia includes gynaecological examination.
