Lymohoproliferative and myeloproliferative disorders together are rare, but in some earlier reported cases this occurence was described like simultaneous or spontaneous.

A 66-year-old man with a sicten year history of polycythemia vera which was treated with Hydroxycarbamide had progressive pain under the left rib cage and dyspnea. To find out the cause some tests were performed: during physical examination were found, enlargedspleen lymph nodes in armpits. [...].
