Popis: We report the case of a 37-year old man with polycythemia related to hepatic tumor with elevated serum erythropoietin concentrations. Left hepatic lobectomy was performed 20 months after admission. Microscopic examination revealed a typical hemangioma. Erythropoietin in tumoral extract was elevated. Two months later, the hematocrit and the serum erythropoietin level were within normal range. To our know-ledge, this is the first report in literature.
