title: Myomatous erythrocytosis syndrome: a case report.
abstract: We report the case of a 36-year-old woman with erythrocytosis due to ectopic erythropoietin production by a very large uterine leiomyoma. Awareness of this uncommon condition is important so that the correct diagnosis can be suggested prior to surgery and radical resection can be avoided.
