Abstract

Essential thrombocythemia is a disease included in the group of myeloproliferative neoplasms. The diagnose and treatment of this condition are of the utmost importance to reduce the morbidity related to its complications. We present the case of a 57-year-old man with a history of several ischaemic events of unknown etiology who was admitted for abdominal pain related to food intake and weight loss. Laboratory tests revealed thrombocytosis that was already present before the admission. Therefore, JAK2 mutation was requested, leading to the diagnosis of essential thrombocythemia.
