A case of primary myelofibrosis complicated by the development of extramedullary myeloid tumors and terminating in diffuse reticulosarcomatosis is reported. The possible relationship of the latter to other myeloproliferative disorders is discussed. It is suggested that clinical consideration be given to this possibility when a patient with myeloproliferative disorder shows signs of a malignant tumor or lymphoma in the course of his disease.
