Area of Science:

  • Hematology
  • Oncology

Background:

  • Acute myelofibrosis is a rare hematologic neoplasm.
  • Characterized by bone marrow fibrosis and atypical megakaryocytes.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To report on the incidence and characteristics of acute myelofibrosis cases.
  • To highlight key diagnostic findings and clinical course.

Main Methods:

  • Retrospective analysis of 3,149 bone marrow aspirations and trephine biopsies.
  • Evaluation of patient demographics, clinical features, and histopathological findings.

Main Results:

  • Five cases of acute myelofibrosis were identified over 8.5 years.
  • Patients aged 14-71 years; 4 males, 1 female.
  • Bone marrow biopsy revealed atypical megakaryocytes and marked fibrosis; splenomegaly and poikilocytosis were not prominent.

Conclusions:

  • Acute myelofibrosis is rare, with distinctive bone marrow biopsy findings.
  • The disease follows a rapid downhill clinical course in affected individuals.
