Accordingly, a retrospective clinicopathological study was performed on 120 patients with a follow\u2010up ranging between 5 and 13 years and repeated bone marrow trephine examinations. Following the new WHO classification, at presentation patients revealed three distinctive patterns of bone marrow (BM) features: (true) ET in 43 patients, prefibrotic idiopathic myelofibrosis (IMF) in 50 patients, and early IMF in 27 patients. Heterogeneity of morphological features was associated with correspondingly expressed laboratory data. Contrasting initial and early IMF, patients with true ET displayed an about 80% probability to lack splenomegaly, anemia, and increase in the LDH and LAP values and also failed to show any myeloblasts or erythroblasts on the peripheral blood films. Follow\u2010up examinations including sequential BM biopsies (mean interval 39 \u00b1 31 months) disclosed that of the 43 patients with true ET only one developed an increase in reticulin. On the other hand, 65 of 77 patients with prefibrotic and early IMF evolved into overt myelofibrosis\u2013osteosclerosis. Moreover, survival analysis demonstrated significant differences in our patients. A neglectable proportion of life loss according to a sex\u2010 and age\u2010matched general population was found in true ET (less than 11%) opposed to IMF without or mild fibrosis (range 21% to 32%).
