    Journal: J Oncol Pharm Pract; 2015 Feb; 21(1):74-5. PubMed ID: 25063763.
    Abstract:
    Chronic myelomonocytic leukemia (CMML) is a clonal disorder of hematopoietic stem cells often occurring in elderly patients. The combination of CMML with autoimmune manifestations, including immune-mediated thrombocytopenia, has been described before in a number of case reports. To our knowledge, this is the first reported case of the successful treatment of CMML-related thrombocytopenia with a thrombopoeitin receptor agonist, eltrombopag.
