Primary myelofibrosis

A rare myeloproliferative neoplasm characterized by stem-cell derived clonal over proliferation of mature myeloid lineages, such as erythrocytes, leukocytes, and megakaryocytes, with variable degrees of megakaryocyte atypia, associated with reticulin and/or collagen bone marrow fibrosis, osteosclerosis, ineffective erythropoiesis, angiogenesis, extramedullary hematopoiesis, and abnormal cytokine expression.

	BACKGROUND In Primary Myelofibrosis (PMF; a clonal disorder arising from the neoplastic transformation of early hematopoietic stem cells) patients, spinal cord compression (SCC) is a common complication or even a presentation symptom due to extramedullary hematopoiesis (EMH).
