  • Title: [Malignant myelofibrosis. One case (author's transl)].
    Author: Lefèvre P, Ricard MF, Imbert M, Reyes F, Pinaudeau Y, Sultan C.
    Journal: Nouv Presse Med; 1979 Nov 05; 8(43):3545-7. PubMed ID: 545285.
    Abstract:
    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.
