Abdominal Ultrasonography in Myelofibrosis [PDF]
The findings at abdominal ultrasonography (US) in 40 patients with myelofibrosis were reviewed, 20 patients being examined at initial diagnosis and 31 at later stages. Splenomegaly was found in 80% at initial diagnosis and in 97% at later stages. The spleen of 2 patients appeared homogeneously hypoechoic and inhomogeneous in one. Focal splenic lesions

Management of myelofibrosis after ruxolitinib failure
Myelofibrosis is a BCR-ABL1–negative myeloproliferative neoplasm characterized by anemia, progressive splenomegaly, extramedullary hematopoiesis, bone marrow fibrosis, constitutional symptoms, leukemic progression, and shortened survival.

Ruxolitinib in the treatment of polycythemia vera: patient selection and special considerations. [PDF]
The discovery of JAK2 V617F mutation in the mid-2000s started to fill the gap between clinical presentation of polycythemia vera (PV), first described by Vaquez at the end of the 19th century, and spontaneous erythroid colony formation, reported by ...

AbstractMyelofibrosis (MF), either primary or arising from previous polycythemia vera (PV) or essential thrombocythemia (ET), is the worst among the chronic myeloproliferative neoplasms in terms of survival and quality of life. Patients with MF have to face several clinical issues that, because of the poor effectiveness of medical therapy, surgery or ...

The degree of anisocytosis predicts survival in patients with primary myelofibrosis [PDF]
Introduction: Red cell distribution width (RDW) provides a quantitative measure of anisocytosis and it is associated with the presence of subclinical systemic inflammation and a poor outcome in a variety of diseases when elevated.

A case of mistaken identity: When lupus masquerades as primary myelofibrosis
Introduction: Autoimmune myelofibrosis is an uncommon hematologic disease characterized by anemia, bone marrow myelofibrosis, and an autoimmune feature. Myelofibrosis is often associated with other conditions, including infections, nutritional/endocrine ...
