The authors report a case of malignant histiocytosis complicated with pure red cell aplasia. Erythro‐phagocytic histiocytes were found only rarely and no histiocyte ingested erythroblasts. Neither serum immunoglobulin G nor peripheral blood T‐cells have any inhibitory activity to erythroid colony growth from allogeneic bone marrow. Pure red cell aplasia is an unusual complication in malignant histiocytosis. Cancer 57:2325–2328, 1986.
