leukoerythroblastosis /leu·ko·eryth·ro·blas·to·sis/ (-ĕ-rith″ro-blas-to´sis) anemia associated with space-occupying lesions of the bone marrow that cause bone marrow suppression with a variable number of immature cells of the erythrocytic and granulocytic series in the circulation.
leukoerythroblastosis [loo″ko-ĕ-rith″ro-blas-to´sis]
leu·ko·e·ryth·ro·blas·to·sis (l  k - -rthr-bl -st ss)n. An anemic condition resulting from space-occupying lesions in the bone marrow and characterized by the presence of immature granular leukocytes and nucleated erythrocytes in the circulating blood. Also called myelophthisic anemia. |
leukoerythroblastosis [loo″ko-ĕ-rith″ro-blas-to´sis]
anemia due to destruction or crowding out of hematopoietic tissues in the bone marrow by a space-occupying lesion; reduction in normal marrow cells induces release of immature hematopoietic cells, especially nucleated erythrocytes, into the bloodstream. Called also myelopathic or myelophthisic anemia.
leukoerythroblastosis
an anemic condition associated with space-occupying lesions of the bone marrow, marked by a variable number of immature erythroid and myeloid cells in the circulation.
