T/T
 

RARS-T indicates refractory anemia with ringed sideroblasts associated with marked thrombocytosis; MCV, mean cell volume; ANC, absolute neutrophil count; AMC, absolute monocyte count; BM, bone marrow; RS, ringed sideroblasts; and NA, not available.

*

Documented history of thrombocytosis over previous 6 months (to 1353 × 109/L).

Documented history of thrombocytosis over previous 6 months (546 to 1213 × 109/L).

On hydroxyurea at time of CBC.

§

Constitutional karyotype of peripheral-blood lymphocytes.

The highest recorded plateiet count was 691 × 109/L; at the time of biopsy patient was receiving Anagrelide.

A platelet count at the time of biopsy was 512 × 109/L blood. The true platelet count was estimated to be higher (per pathologist estimate “close to 1 000 × 109/L”).
