Based on the morphological appearances of the bone marrow and peripheral blood, 43 patients with dysmyelopoietic syndromes were categorized into 4 types: refractory anemia with excess of blasts, chronic myelomonocytic leukemia, primary acquired sideroblastic anemia and refractory anemia with cellular marrow, without excess of blasts and/or ring sideroblasts. Ferrokinetics allowed 3 distinct groups of patients to be defined. All cases of refractory anemia with excess of blasts and chronic myelomonocytic leukemia were classified in the same group. They were characterized by relative marrow failure and had a high likelihood of developing acute leukemia. At the other end of the spectrum, individuals with primary acquired sideroblastic anemia had high erythropoietic activity which was largely ineffective. They had a benign clinical course without evidence of leukemic transformation. In the middle group, in terms of erythropoietic activity, lay patients with refractory anemia with cellular marrow and a few individuals with primary acquired sideroblastic anemia. Their clinical course and the risk of developing acute leukemia were intermediate between the other 2 groups. Separate entities may exist within the spectrum of dysmyelopoietic syndromes. In clinical practice, they may be recognized by morphological studies and other simple laboratory means.
