Overview

Myelofibrosis must be differentiated from other diseases that cause diffuse bone sclerosis, splenomegaly, anemia, leukopenia, thrombocytopenia, leukocytosis, thrombocytosis, and extramedullary hematopoiesis (EMH) such as sickle cell disease, hyperthyroidism, sclerosing bone dysplasia, osteoblastic metastases, Paget's disease, acute myelogenous leukemia (AML), chronic myelogenous leukemia (CML), polycythemia vera (PV), myelodysplastic syndrome, chronic myelomonocytic leukemia, acute panmyelosis, acute megakaryoblastic leukemia, cirrhosis, infections, neoplastic and lipid storage disorders.[1][2][3][4][5][6][7]
