Acute panmyelosis with myelofibrosis

What it is

A rare unclassified acute myeloid leukemia characterized by an acute panmyeloid proliferation with blasts constituting more than 20% of cells in the bone marrow or peripheral blood, accompanied by fibrosis of the bone marrow. Patients typically present with acute onset of severe constitutional symptoms, bone pain, and pancytopenia. Splenomegaly is minimal or absent. The disease is rapidly progressive with poor therapy response.

Disease

Prevalence figures describe populations, not individuals, and are often estimates from a single study. Where the figure is an incidence or a birth prevalence, it says so.

Signs and symptoms

These ranges are how often a sign appears across everyone diagnosed, not a prediction for one person — most people have some of these and not others. Orphanet also records findings that are specifically absent in this disease; those are in the data but not listed here.
