Overview
The first description of myelofibrosis is credited to a German surgeon, Gustav Heuck. He described the concept in 1879 under the title of ‘Two cases of leukemia with peculiar blood and bone marrow findings’.
Historical Perspective
- Gustav Heuck, a German surgeon, was the first to describe the notion of myelofibrosis in 1879. His explained the idea 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]
- The World Health Organization utilizes the name "chronic idiopathic myelofibrosis", while the International Working Group on Myelofibrosis Research and Treatment calls the disease "primary myelofibrosis".[2]
