*In 1879, Gustav Heuck, a German [[surgeon]], was the first to describe the notion of [[myelofibrosis]]. He explained the idea under the title of "Two cases of [[leukemia]] with peculiar [[blood]] and [[bone marrow]] findings". Heuck described two patients with massive [[splenomegaly]], increased number of [[Morphology|morphologically]] abnormal [[leukocytes]], and [[nucleated]] [[Red blood cell|red blood cells]]. He observed that the clinical findings in these two patients were different from those described for [[Chronic myelogenous leukemia|chronic myelogenous leukemia (CML)]] because of the presence of [[bone marrow]] [[fibrosis]] and extensive [[Extramedullary hematopoiesis|extramedullary hematopoiesis (EMH)]].

Overview

The first description of primary myelofibrosis (PMF) is credited to a German surgeon, Gustav Heuck, who described the concept in 1879. Additional work and discoveries started to get documented at the beginning of the twentieth century. The substantial contribution came from Max Askanazy, a German pathologist and Herbert Assmann, an Internist from Germany. The condition was given several pseudonyms before the International Working Group for Myelofibrosis Research and Treatment decided in 2006 to use the term primary myelofibrosis (PMF).
