Clinical History
• 80-year-old man with a history of HTN, neuropathy and chronic anemia
• Came to MDACC to see Dr. Garcia-Manero on 8/2/2007 for an outside diagnosis of Refractory anemia or CMML one year ago
• Transfusion independent and untreated. • Chronic fatigue, dizziness • PE: o hepatosplenomegaly or peripheral adenopathy
Outside BM biopsy (3/7/2007)
WBC 4.7, Hgb 11.1, MCV 93, Platelet 341, Neutrophils 41.3, Lymphs 32.3, Monos 25.3 (abs: 1189), Eos 0.9, Basos 0.2,
• Hypercellular bone marrow (70-90%) with left-shifted granulopoiesis, megakaryocytic hyperplasia, dyserythropoiesis and 3% blasts (see comment)
Outside BM (comment):
• Flow cytometry immunophenotypic analysis of a sample from the bone marrow aspirate at Dianon Systems, Stratford, Connecticut demonstrated non-specific findings including left-shifted granulopoiesis with decreased expression of CD16.

Proposed Diagnosis and Take home points
Dx: Primary myelofibrosis presenting with persistent monocytosis, JAK2 V617F +
• Monocytosis may occur as initial presentation of PMF or during the disease course
• Persistent monocytosis is associated with an adverse prognosis
• May not be associated with RAS mutations or cytogenetic aberrations
• Megakaryocytic dysplasia may be diagnostic clue
