A Case of Asymptomatic Essential Thrombocythemia in a Child

Various factors can be linked to an increase in platelet count. Yet thrombocytosis could be essential. Many genetic mutations have been associated with essential thrombocytosis, which also increases the possibility of myelofibrotic transformation. In pediatrics, essential thrombocytosis is not well-...

Sumario:Various factors can be linked to an increase in platelet count. Yet thrombocytosis could be essential. Many genetic mutations have been associated with essential thrombocytosis, which also increases the possibility of myelofibrotic transformation. In pediatrics, essential thrombocytosis is not well-studied. In this article, we present a rare case of a 42-month-old male patient who presented with essential thrombocytosis associated with myeloproliferative leukemia (MPL) gene mutation.
