Concomitance of idiopathic myelofibrosis and amyloidosis

Thalidomid in Idiopathic Myelofibrosis

Idiopathic myelofibrosis without dacryocytes.

Idiopathic myelofibrosis (IMF) typically presents with marrow fibrosis, splenomegaly, progressive anemia, and a leukoerythroblastic blood smear with dacryocytes. We present a patient with IMF who did not have dacryocytes.

Myelofibrosis with myeloid metaplasia (MMM), Idiopathic myelofibrosis, Agnogenic myeloid metaplasia

MMM usually presents with fatigue, weight loss, splenomegaly with or without symptoms. Anemia and various alterations of the white blood cell and/or platelet count are frequently seen at diagnosis. Thrombocytopenia-related bleeding may occur. MMM must be distinguished from myelodysplasia with fibrosis, from acute megakayoblastic leukemia and acute myelofibrosis. As the disease progresses, incre...

Development of acute leukaemia after idiopathic myelofibrosis.

AIMS To determine the characteristics of blastic transformation of idiopathic myelofibrosis. METHODS The clinical and haematological features, as well as the morphological characteristics of blast cells, were analysed in nine adults with blast transformation. RESULTS Most of the patients were male and had enlarged spleens and livers. Five of the patients had normal platelet counts, while al...
