Differential Diagnosis

Evaluation

Workup

  • CBC

Diagnosis[1]

  • Criteria: The diagnosis of primary myelofibrosis requires meeting all 3 major criteria and 2 minor criteria.
Major criteria
Megakaryocyte proliferation and atypia with reticulin and/or collagen fibrosis,

or with increased marrow cellularity, granulocytic proliferation, and decreased erythropoiesis

Not meeting WHO criteria for CML, PV, MDS, or other myeloid neoplasm
Demonstration of JAK2V617F or other clonal marker or no evidence of reactive bone marrow fibrosis
Minor criteria
Leukoerythroblastosis
Increased serum LDH
Anemia
Palpable splenomegaly
