'''Myeloproliferative neoplasms''', also '''myeloproliferative disorders''', are a group of indolent hematologic neoplasms. | '''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), the main difference is that MPNs produce functional haematological cells detectable on a complete blood count, whereas in MDS, hematopoisis is ineffective and is characterised by cytopenias. | |||

==Clinic== | |||
* increase in blood count(s), dependent on type of MPN | |||
* anemia may occur in late stage disease or due leukemic transformation | |||
* pale skin | |||
* fatigue | |||
* enlarged spleen | |||
* increased clotting (i.e. thrombosis) | |||
==Polycythemia vera== | |||
*ICD-O: 9950/3 | |||
*Median age: 60 years. | |||
*Median survival: >10years. | |||
*Typical course: | |||
**Prodromal stadium: Mild erythrocytosis. | |||
**Polycythemic phase: Increased RBC count. | |||
**Post-polycythemic ("spent") phase: Ineffective hematopoiesis, bone marrow fibrosis. | |||
*Transformation to [[AML]] possible (2-3%). | |||
===Morphology=== | |||
*Panmyelosis. | |||
*Many megakaryocytes in bone marrow section. | |||
*Increased cellularity of bone marrow (35-100%). | |||
*Teardrop-RBC cells (dacrocytes) 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 thromboembolic epsisodes. | |||
===Morphology=== | |||
*Thrombocytosis. | |||
*Bone marrow normo- to slightly hypercellular. | |||
*Large hypersegmented megakaryocytes in bone-marrow. | |||
*Usually no BM fibrosis. | |||
