Idiopathic myelofibrosis (IMF), which is characterized by marrow fibrosis, leukoerythroblastic anemia, teardrop poikilocytosis and splenomegaly due to extramedullary hematopoiesis, has known to have no form of therapy. On the ground of the possibility of reversing collagen deposition in IMF using 1, 25-dihydroxycholecalciferol [1, 25(OH)2D3], we report here our observations of 5 patients (M:F = 1:4) with IMF before and after treatment...

A Case of Agnogenic Myeloid Metaplasia
Byung Jin Kim, Byung Yeon Kim, Jung Sik Min, Ho Seong, Chang Hee Choi
Clin Exp Pediatr. 1993;36(8):1178-1182.   Published online August 15, 1993
Agnogenic myeloid metaplasia (AMM) is a myeloproliferative disorder characterized by leukoerythroblastosis, tear-drop erythrocytes, extramedullary hematopoiesis with hepatosplenomegaly, and varying degrees of myelofibrosis. The mean age at presentation is about 60 years, and pediatric cases are rare. We experienced a case of AMM in 9 months old female who was presented with pallor, huge splenomegaly and intermittent fever. Peripheral blood showed leukoerythroblastosis...

Myelofibrosis is characterized by fibrosis of bone marrow, leukoerythrobla stotic anemia and extramedullary hematopoesis with varying degree of hepatosplenomegaly. Idiopathic myelofibrosis is primarily a disease of the adult and is rare in the pediatric age group. We experienced a case of idiopathic myelofibrosis in a 2 year 5 month old male who showed severe anemia with abnormal forms of red blood cell (teardrops, ovalocytes),...

Hae Jung Cho, Keun Chull Choi, Chul Lee, Myong Ho Lee, Sook Ja Park

The so called “Myelofibrosis” within the category of myeloproliferative disorders consists of various degrees of leukoerythroblatosis, bone marrow fibrosis, and extramedullary hema- topoiesis with hepatosplenomegaly. Primary myelofibrosis occurs predominantly in adults and few in childhood. We experie- nced one case of myelofibrosis, at 17 month old male patient. He was admitted due to intermittent fever, pallor and abdominal distension. On admission, hepatosplenomegaly, anemia and generalized petechia...
