Abstractor Notes

"Post essential thrombocythemia myelofibrosis" is not a diagnosis associated with 9961/3. It is a diagnosis associated with a progression of essential thrombocythemia (ET) (9962/3).

Radiation therapy and surgery (splenectomy) may be done for enlarged spleen.

Blood transfusions are given to correct anemia and should not be listed as treatment. Splenectomy may be done if the patient is symptomatic

Aspirin was previously documented as treatment for this disease. This was found to be incorrect. Treatment has been updated based on the NCI website (updated 6/12/15).

For more information, see the NCI website: https://www.cancer.gov/types/myeloproliferative/hp/chronic-treatment-pdq#section/_9

Diagnostic Confirmation

This histology can be determined by positive histology (including peripheral blood) with or without genetics and/or immunophenotyping. Review the Definitive Diagnostic Methods, Immunophenotyping and Genetics Data sections below, and the instructions in the Hematopoietic Manual for further guidance on assigning Diagnostic confirmation.

Definition

Primary myelofibrosis (PMF) is a clonal myeloproliferative neoplasm (MPN) characterized by a proliferation of predominantly abnormal megakaryocytes and granulocytes in the bone marrow, which in fully developed disease is associated with reactive deposition of fibrous connective tissue and with extramedullary hematopoiesis.

There is a stepwise evolution from an initial pre/fibrotic early stage, characterized by hypercellular bone marrow with absent or minimal reticulin fibrosis, to an overt fibrotic stage with marked reticulin or collagen fibrosis in the bone marrow, and often osteosclerosis.

The fibrotic stage of PMF is clinically characterized by leukoerthroblastosis in the blood, hepatomegaly, and splenomegaly.

The diagnostic criteria for prefibrotic/early PMF (pre-PMF) are:

Major criteria
1. Megakaryocytic proliferation and atypia, without reticulin fibrosis .grade 1*, accompanied by increased age-adjusted BM cellularity, granulocytic proliferation, and often
decreased erythropoiesis
2. Not meeting the WHO criteria for BCR-ABL11 CML, PV, ET, myelodysplastic syndromes, or other myeloid neoplasms
3. Presence of JAK2, CALR, or MPL mutation or in the absence of these mutations, presence of another clonal marker,† or absence of minor reactive BM reticulin fibrosis

Minor criteria
Presence of at least 1 of the following, confirmed in 2 consecutive determinations:
a. Anemia not attributed to a comorbid condition
b. Leukocytosis $11 3 109/L
c. Palpable splenomegaly
d. LDH increased to above upper normal limit of institutional reference range
Diagnosis of pre-PMF requires meeting all 3 major criteria, and at least 1 minor criterion

Diagnosis of overt PMF requires meeting all 3 major criteria, and at least 1 minor criterion
