Abstract
This clinical case presents a 39-year-old woman diagnosed with essential thrombocythemia, accompanied by a review of the epidemiology, clinical and diagnostic criteria, and patient management strategies. The case also includes a discussion of potential complications and prognosis associated with the condition. The importance of thorough outpatient monitoring is emphasized, which should include regular assessments of clinical symptoms, changes in blood count parameters, bone marrow trephine biopsy, and molecular genetic testing for MPL and CALR gene mutations. The report highlights gaps in the current medical examination process, suggesting that addressing these deficiencies could improve early detection of essential thrombocythemia and enable timely pathogenetic therapy with antiplatelet agents to prevent complications.
