OBJECTIVES: @entity6017 and @entity6558 ( @entity3918 /PM) are associated with @entity5 . The aim of the present study is to compare our experience in Israel with other published data. METHODS: Thirty-five adult @entity1 with @entity3918 /PM, admitted to Sheba Medical Center during the 11-year interval between 1984 and 1994, were studied for the prevalence and features of @entity5 . @entity1 with @entity3918 /PM alone and with @entity3918 /PM and @entity5 were identified by using the hospital computer system. The manifestations of @entity3918 /PM and features of the @entity5 were abstracted from the @entity1 ' charts. The presence or absence of @entity5 were verified in the National @entity5 Registry. RESULTS: There were 15 @entity1 and 20 @entity1 . The mean age at the onset of the disease was 53 +/- 18 years. A total of 15 had PM and 20 @entity3918 . @entity5 occurred in four @entity1 with PM (27%) and in nine with @entity3918 (45%) a frequency 12.6 times higher than in the general population. In six @entity1 , the @entity5 and the @entity3918 /PM were diagnosed simultaneously; in four before and in three after the appearance of the @entity3918 /PM. Hematologic, @entity5344 , @entity320 , and @entity189 of unknown primary were found among our @entity1 . Eight @entity3918 /PM @entity1 with @entity5 died during the study period of @entity1151 , and @entity5 spread. CONCLUSIONS: Our study found that @entity3918 /PM is associated with high rates of @entity5 and mortality.
