Management of myelofibrosis during pregnancy: a case report

Abstract

Introduction: Primary myelofibrosis (PMF) is a clonal myeloproliferative neoplasm that occurs most commonly in the decade six of life and it is very rare in the young persons.

Case report: We reported a 28-year-old female patient with primary myelofibrosis who had a normal pregnancy and delivery in the week 40 of pregnancy without any complications. Two years before the diagnosis of PMF she had normal pregnancy. The patient was treated with interferon-alpha and low dose aspirin during the whole pregnancy and with low-molecular-weight heparin a week before delivery and 6 weeks after. The patient had no complications during pregnancy. She delivered in term with healthy, normal baby weight.

Conclusion: Decision about treatment strategy of pregnancy associated hematologic malignancies should be made for each patient individually.
