  • Abstract
  • Look Inside

A 57-year-old farmer had tinnitus in May, 1967 and swelling and oppressive sensation in the abdominal area in the middle of November.

He was addmitted to the Department of Internal Medicine, when xamination of the peripheral blood showed anemia and leukocytosis with nucleated erythrocytes and immature myelocytes. Biopsy of the bone marrow proved immature myelocytes, erythroblasts, mega-karyocytes and proliferation of reticulum fibers with partial fibrosis. Foci of extramedullary hematopoiesis were found in the spleen and lymph nodes.

The patient was diagnosed as having primary medullary fibrosis and treated with 6MP, prednisolone, antibiotics and blood transfusion. There were found several firm nodules without subjective sensations in the abdominal and lumbar regions in January 1968, but the patient was discharged from the hospital in March 19.

The patient visited the Department of Dermatology in April 16, 1968, when he had several, from rice grain-to pea-sized, small nodules of a normal or a dark brown color on the epigastrium and right lumbar region. After biopsy of the nodule in the lumbar region, lesions increased in number and size and the patient had general malaise, nausea, vomiting, swelling of the face and distension of the abdomen. He was addmitted again to the Department of Internal Medicine on May 14. On May 29, there were three, dark red, to walnut-sized nodules in the lumbar region, and several nodules to a pea in size, on the back, in the lumbar and abdominal regions.

A histologic specimen from the nodule in the left lumbar region showed a focal or a disseminated infiltrate of immature myclocytes, erythrocytes and megakaryocytes around the vessel, sweat duct and hair follicle and among the collagen bundles throughout the dermis.
