1. Several hematologic diseases may cause similar roentgenographic abnormalities of the skull. In this report the changes in chronic iron deficiency anemia and secondary polycythemia are stressed.

2. Roentgenographic skull changes produced by secondary polycythemia are uncommon and are probably related to the severity of the cyanosis and the degree of secondary polycythemia.

3. The exact mechanism of production of these bone changes is uncertain, but appears to be related to bone marrow hyperplasia.
