title: Subacute intestinal obstruction associated with a case of polycythemia vera--a rare combination.
abstract: Primary Polycythemia Vera (PV) is difficult to diagnose due to its varied and atypical 1 presentation. It is a myeloproliferative disorder which is managed conservatively. We submit a case report of a patient who was admitted in surgery with subacute intestinal obstruction due to compression by a massive splenic cyst. The investigations showed PV causing splenomegaly.
