Hautarzt 46(7):477-80 (1995) PMID 7672987

A case report is presented to illustrate the cutaneous manifestations in essential thrombocythaemia. Knowledge of the related skin lesions may lead to earlier detection of this myeloproliferative disorder. Treatment may prevent severe haemorrhagic or thrombotic complications. Erythromelalgia is causally related to thrombocythaemia; prompt relief of painful symptoms after treatment with aspirin is typical.
