The article presents two cases of malignant tumour and eosinophilia and reviews the literature on this condition. It is associated with disseminated disease and indicates a poor prognosis. Current knowledge supports the view that eosinophilia in malignant tumours is caused by a tumour-produced ectopic hormone-like substance which directly stimulates the growth of the eosinophilic granulocytes in the bone marrow.
