Myeloproliferative neoplasms, also myeloproliferative disorders, are a group of indolent hematologic neoplasms characterized by clonal expansion of pluripotent hematopoietic progenitor.
These should not be confused with myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS).
Grouping
They include the following:[1]
- Polycythemia vera.
- Essential thrombocythemia.
- Idiopathic myelofibrosis.
Clinic
- moderate to severe anemia
- pale skin
- fatigue
- prolonged bleeding
- enlarged spleen
- increased clotting
Polycythemia vera
- ICD-O: 9950/3
- Median age: 60 years.
- Median survival: >10years.
- Typical course:
- Prodromal stadium: Mild erythrocytosis.
- Polycythemic phase: Incereased RBC count.
- Post-polycythemic ("spent") phase: Ineffective hematopoiesis, bone marrow fibrosis.
- Transformation in AML possible (2-3%).
Morphology
- Panmyelosis.
- Many megakaryocytes in bone marrow section.
- Increased cellularity of bone marrow (35-100%).
- Teardrop-RBC cells (dacryocytes) in late stage.
- Fibrosis (reticulin stain).
Essential thrombocythaemia
- ICD-O: 9962/3
- Median age: 55 years.
- Mostly asymptomatic.
- Indolent course, long-term survival. Life-threatening thromboembolitic epsisodes.
Morphology
- Thrombocytosis.
- Bone marrow normo- to slightly hypercellular.
- Large megakaryocytes in bone-marrow.
- Usually no BM fibrosis.

Molecular
- BCR-ABL1 negative (DDx: Leukemia (BCR-ABL1 positive))
- A specific JAK2 mutation (Val617Phe) in seen in a group of patients.[1][2]
- In JAK2-negative cases, CALR or MPL-Mutations are often found.[3]
