AbstractA lively discussion persists regarding the diagnostic criteria for essential thrombocythemia (ET), primary myelofibrosis (PMF) and polycythemia vera (PV), particularly in relation to early/pre-fibrotic myelofibrosis (pre-PMF), a disease entity initially introduced in 2001 by the 3rd edition of the World Health Organization (WHO) classification. The definition and criteria used to diagnose pre-PMF have been progressively modified over time.
