Scope note: Trastorno mieloproliferativo de etiología desconocida que se caracteriza por proliferación anormal de todos los elementos hematopoyéticos de la médula ósea y por incremento absoluto de la masa de células rojas y del volumen total de sangre, y que se asocia frecuentemente con esplenomegalia, leucocitosis, y trombocitopenia. La hematopoyesis también es reactiva en sitios extramedulares (hígado y bazo). En ocasiones aparece mielofibrosis.

Scope note: A myeloproliferative disorder of unknown etiology, characterized by abnormal proliferation of all hematopoietic bone marrow elements and an absolute increase in red cell mass and total blood volume, associated frequently with splenomegaly, leukocytosis, and thrombocythemia. Hematopoiesis is also reactive in extramedullary sites (liver and spleen). In time myelofibrosis occurs.
