We report a case of idiopathic hypereosinophilia syndrome (H.E.S.) with a pronounced myeloproliferative disorder, which during the course of the illness has exceeded more than one "blastic crisis". This again proposes the difficult relationship between H.E.S. and myeloproliferative syndromes (M.S.), and is indicative of why some cases of H.E.S. are differentially diagnosed as chronic myeloid leukemia (C.M.L.) with an eosinophilic component.

D001853 Bone Marrow The soft tissue filling the cavities of bones. Bone marrow exists in two types, yellow and red. Yellow marrow is found in the large cavities of large bones and consists mostly of fat cells and a few primitive blood cells. Red marrow is a hematopoietic tissue and is the site of production of erythrocytes and granular leukocytes. Bone marrow is made up of a framework of connective tissue containing branching fibers with the frame being filled with marrow cells.
