EJHaem. 2020 Jun 28;1(1):304-308. doi: 10.1002/jha2.38. eCollection 2020 Jul.

Abstract

Autoimmune myelofibrosis (AIMF) is an uncommon cause of myelofibrosis associated with favorable outcome. Primary AIMF, AIMF without a known systemic autoimmune disorder, has been described in adults, but never in children. Here, we present, for the first time, an apparent case of primary AIMF in a 15-year-old boy admitted with profound hypoproliferative anemia.

Keywords: anemia; autoimmunity; lymphopenia; myelofibrosis.
