Q

PMF

A 
Primary myelofibrosis
TEARDROP RBCs
Leukoerythroblastic rxn - Immature cess in peripheral blood
Jak/MPL mutation
BM fibrosis and Megakaryocyte atypia
  • Splenomegaly with portal HTN,
  • Splenic infarct and reactive left pleural effusion
10 years in prefribrotic then 3-7 in fibrotic stages
5-30% get AML 
*BM failure
*Throbosis
*Portal HTN
*HF

Q

0 AML

A
  • course of weeks to months
