Overview
Myelofibrosis must be differentiated from other diseases that cause diffuse bone sclerosis, splenomegaly, anemia, leukopenia, thrombocytopenia, leukocytosis, thrombocytosis, and extramedullary hematopoiesis such as sickle cell disease, hyperthyroidism, sclerosing bone dysplasia, osteoblastic metastases, Paget's disease, acute myelogenous leukemia (AML), chronic myelogenous leukemia (CML), polycythemia vera, myelodysplastic syndrome, chronic myelomonocytic leukemia, acute panmyelosis, acute megakaryoblastic leukemia, cirrhosis, infections, neoplastic and lipid storage disorders.[1][2][3][4][5][6][7]
Differentiating Myelofibrosis from other Diseases
Myelofibrosis must be differentiated from other diseases that cause diffuse bone sclerosis, anemia, leukopenia, thrombocytopenia, leukocytosis, or thrombocytosis. They are presented in the table below.[2][3][4][6][7]
| Type of diseases | Diseases |
|---|---|
| Hematological causes | Sickle cell disease |
| Metabolic bone disorders | Hyperthyroidism Hypoparathyroidism Renal osteodystrophy |
| Congenital | Sclerosing bone dysplasia Osteopetrosis Pyknodysostosis |
| Malignancy | Lymphoma: infiltration Leukaemia: infiltration Osteoblastic metastases |
| Other | Paget disease Fluorosis Mastocytosis Hepatitis C associated osteosclerosis (HCAO) |
Myelofibrosis must also be differentiated from other diseases that cause splenomegaly and/or extramedullary hematopoiesis. They are presented in the table below.[1][5][6]
