Living with Acute panmyelosis with myelofibrosis
A type of acute myeloid leukemia in which scar-like fibers form in the bone marrow, with no earlier bone marrow scarring disease.
Understanding Acute panmyelosis with myelofibrosis
The bone marrow scarring happens without a prior primary myelofibrosis. GARD lists the onset as adulthood.
Signs & symptoms
Symptoms vary from person to person. GARD lists these among the most common:
- Tiredness (fatigue)
- Muscle weakness
- Low blood cell counts (pancytopenia)
- Bone marrow with too many cells (hypercellularity)
- Scarring of the bone marrow (myelofibrosis)
- Abnormal-looking platelet-making cells in the bone marrow
Not everyone has every symptom. GARD's list comes from the Human Phenotype Ontology.
