The natural evolution of this MPN is to progress to an anemic\/cytopenic phase also known as \u201cspent\u201d phase prior to transformation into an accelerated and\/or an overt leukemic phase.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Case Report<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Herein, we describe a case of a patient with polycythemia vera transitioning though a \u201cspent\u201d phase to an MPN in accelerated phase (MPN-AP). The patient had anemia, thrombocytopenia, neutrophilia and increased blasts in the bone marrow. Management and outcome: Upon treatment with four cycles of 5-azacitidine, the patient\u2019s polycythemia vera reversed back to the proliferative phase. Serial phlebotomies were again required.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Discussion<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Reversal of a \u201cspent\u201d phase by 5-azacitidine back to a proliferative polycythemia vera phase requiring phlebotomies has not been previously reported in the scientific literature.
