On the example of a 66-year-old man the authors describe the atypical course of myelodysplastic syndrome of the type of refractory anaemia with dominating thrombocytopenia, manifested by massive haemorrhage, mostly into the digestive tract. In view of the increasing number of patients with this diagnosis, the authors attempted to elaborate the approximate costs of treatment of the condition in a medical department.
