Inflammatory fibrous histiocytoma in the left upper abdomen with a leukemoid blood picture

Year: 1979

Type: article

Abstract: A case of inflammatory fibrous histiocytoma arising in the left hypochondrium, which presented with a leukemoid reaction and was initially diagnosed as chronic neutrophilic leukemia, is described. The difficulty of interpreting the hematological findings, especially as the spleen appeared to be enlarged, is discussed. The tendency of this highly malignant group of tumors to cause a systemic granulocytosis is commented upon and attention is drawn to the lack of satisfactory treatment.
