From the viewpoint of a territorial haematological centre with a certainly preselected number of patients the initial symptom of bi- or pancytopenia in 3/4 of the cases proves as first reference to a myeloproliferative or myelodysplastic syndrome. Of these cases 62.5% transferred into a crisis of blasts; that is, they must be regarded as real preleukemia. The morphology of the bone marrow as well as the stem cell cultures obtained from this give important references to the diagnostic classification of the early changes as well as to their prognosis.
