Historical Perspective
- Myelofibrosis was first discribed by Gustav Heuck, a German surgeon, in 1879, under the title of 'Two cases of leukemia with peculiar blood and bone marrow findings'.[1]
- The concept of myeloproliferative disorders (MPDs) was described by William Dameshek, in 1951, by bringing together these five clinicopathologic entities: chronic myelogenous leukemia (CML), polycythemia vera (PV), essential thrombocythemia (ET), primary myelofibrosis (PMF), and erythroleukemia.[1]
