|October 1, 1977
Abstract:
Thrombocythemia is characterized by an increase in platelet numbers coupled with abnormal function. Three cases diagnosed after referral to an oral surgeon are presented. In each case the reason for referral concerned excessive dental hemorrhage. Thrombocythemia should be included in the differential diagnosis in cases of oral hemorrhage.
