Abstract :

Hematologic oncology diseases are common worldwide. Eradicating these diseases is challenging and demands various measures and early diagnosis. All physicians know that cytopenias, lymphadenopathy, splenomegaly, among others, indicate possible hematologic diseases, but when these symptoms and signs occur associated with multiple comorbidities in the same patient, it is not uncommon to delay the correct diagnosis and, therefore, slow up the adequate treatment by the hematologist. So, our role as non-hematologists is early identification of these patients and referral to the specialist. Therefore, 5 real cases will be illustrated pointing clues that must aware all physicians about possible hematologic oncology diseases.
