Abstract

The unusual case of myeloproliferative disease described here is characterized by the following features: (1) a clinically completely silent course for 11 years without splenomegaly, marrow fibrosis, or cellular morphologic alterations; (2) the presence, at the onset, of a Philadelphia (Ph) chromosome without DNA breakpoints in the M-bcr region; (3) the spontaneous loss of detectable Ph-positive cells, 5 years after the first finding of leukocytosis, in the absence of any therapy; (4) the maintenance of the clonal nature of hematopoiesis, as revealed by the PGK X-linked inactivation pattern, in the absence of the Ph chromosome; and (5) a biphasic trend in the levels of leukocytes, red cells, and platelets during the years of observation.
