| Abstract |
|
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), nucleated red cells,
huge splenomegaly and fibrosis of the bone marrow. We presented a case of idiopathic
myelofibrosis with brief review of the literatures.
