- Abstract
An autposy case of a 30-year-old house wife with malignant hemangiothelioma of the heart was reported. This case was also accompanied by marked anemia, thrombocytopenia, leukoerythremoid reaction and hypofibrinogenemia. The spread of tumor was so wide that only the alimentary tract and the skin were free from metastases of the tumor. Many of the metastatic foci showed marked hemopoiesis intra tumori. A short discussion was made on the hematological abnormalities associated with vascular tumors.
