Background
- Chronic myeloproliferative disorder
- Abnormal proliferation is seen in all 3 cell lines
- Typically in elderly
- Can be asymptomatic or symptomatic
Clinical Features
- Anemia
- Pancytopenia (in late disease)
- Palpable splenomegaly
- Bone pain
- Increased serum LDH
Differential Diagnosis
- Polycythemia vera (PV)
- Essential thrombocytosis (ET)
- Chronic myelogenous leukemia (CML)
- Leukemoid reactions
Evaluation
Workup
- CBC
- Blood smear
- Chem 7
- Bone marrow biopsy
Evaluation[1]
- Criteria: The diagnosis of primary myelofibrosis requires meeting all 3 major criteria and 2 minor criteria.
| Major criteria |
|---|
| Megakaryocyte proliferation and atypia with reticulin and/or collagen fibrosis,
or with increased marrow cellularity, granulocytic proliferation, and decreased erythropoiesis |
| Not meeting WHO criteria for CML, PV, MDS, or other myeloid neoplasm |
| Demonstration of JAK2V617F or other clonal marker or no evidence of reactive bone marrow fibrosis |
| Minor criteria |
|---|
| Leukoerythroblastosis |
| Increased serum LDH |
| Anemia |
| Palpable splenomegaly |
Management
- Blood transfusion
- Ruxolitinib
- Allogeneic stem cell transplantation
