Periostitis associated with myelofibrosis

Myelofibrosis Associated with Tuberculosis

M YELOFIBROSIS is a disease in which the normal blood-forming elements of the bone marrow are replaced by fibrous tissue with compensatory extramedullary hemopoiesis arising in other organs of the reticulo-endothelial system. Clinically, it is characterized by pains in the long bones, back or abdomen, progressive weakness, pallor and subsequent loss ofweight. The spleen, liver and sometimes the...

Idiopathic hypoparathyroidism associated with stable untreated myelofibrosis.

Dermatomyositis Associated with Myelofibrosis following Polycythemia Vera

Dermatomyositis (DM) is a unique inflammatory myopathy with clinical findings of proximal muscle weakness, characteristic rash, and elevated muscle enzymes. The association of DM and malignancy, most commonly adenocarcinoma, is well known. There have been few case reports of primary myelofibrosis associated with DM. We present the case of a 69-year-old male with a history of polycythemia vera (...

[A case of cutaneous extramedullary hematopoiesis associated with idiopathic myelofibrosis].

Cutaneous extramedullary hematopoiesis is a rare manifestation of chronic myeloproliferative processes, mainly chronic idiopathic myelofibrosis. In adults, it manifests as macules, papules, nodules, and ulcers on the trunk. The lesions usually appear soon after diagnosis and the possibility of a relationship between splenectomy and the appearance of extramedullary foci of hematopoiesis is still...
