The authors draw attention to possible difficulties associated with the accurate diagnosis of myeloproliferative conditions. On the example of two patients they demonstrate the abnormal course of the disease reminding in one case of chronic myeloid leukaemia and in the second case of the myelofibrotic syndrome. Even detailed and repeated laboratory examinations incl. cytochemistry, cytogenetics, trepanobiopsy and cultivation of haemopoietic stem cells did not contribute to accurate assessment of the diagnosis. The picture of inexplicable myeloproliferation associated with a favourable clinical condition persists for 26 years in one patient and 12 years in the other.
