Musculoskeletal complications of haematological disease

Sandra A Morais et al. Rheumatology (Oxford). 2016 Jun.

Abstract

Rheumatological manifestations complicate many benign and malignant blood disorders. Significant advances in haematology, with improved diagnostic techniques and newer musculoskeletal imaging, have occurred in the past two decades. This review focuses on the interrelationship between the major haematological diseases (haemochromatosis, haemophilia, sickle cell disease, thalassaemia, leukaemia, lymphoma, myelodysplastic syndromes, multiple myeloma and cryoglobulinaemia) and rheumatic manifestations.

Keywords: aetiology, rheumatic diseases; complications, rheumatic diseases; haematological diseases; humans; radiography.
