Megakaryocytic phagocytosis in a chromosomally normal neonate with transient myeloproliferative disorder.
We report a case of transient myeloproliferative disorder (TMD) involving the megakaryocytic lineage in a cytogenetically normal newborn infant. Prominent megakaryocytic phagocytosis in the bone marrow was observed. This finding might suggest that TMD was due to a self-limiting malignant clone in myelopoiesis.
