Megakaryocytic phagocytosis in a chromosomally normal neonate with transient myeloproliferative disorder

Acta Haematol. 1991;86(1):49-50. doi: 10.1159/000204800.

Abstract

We report a case of transient myeloproliferative disorder (TMD) involving the megakaryocytic lineage in a cytogenetically normal newborn infant. Prominent megakaryocytic phagocytosis in the bone marrow was observed. This finding might suggest that TMD was due to a self-limiting malignant clone in myelopoiesis.
