[Malignant myelofibrosis. One case (author's transl)].
In a 75-year-old man, the rapid development of a pancytopenia as a result to total marrow failure, in the absence of tumour or extramedullary myelopoiesis, but with a histological appearance of the marrow identical to that seen in agnogenic myeloid metaplasia led to a diagnosis of malignant myelofibrosis. The patient died 7 months after the apparent onset of the disease. The 48 other published cases are discussed. Only 17 are considered to be true cases of malignant myelofibrosis.
