Rheumatologic features of hematologic disorders.
The rheumatologic manifestations of hemophilia and the hemoglobinopathies have been previously reviewed. Recent observations on the management and complications of these disorders are presented. Although rheumatologic manifestations are well recognized in leukemias and lymphomas, most of the observations have been based on small series of patients and case reports. This review focuses on leukemias and lymphomas, and brief reference is made to the myelodysplastic syndromes.
