| Summary: | Introduction. Primary myelofibrosis (PMF) is a clonal myeloproliferative
neoplasm that occurs most commonly in the decade six of life and it is very
rare in the young persons. Case report. We reported a 28-year-old female
patient with primary myelofibrosis who had a normal pregnancy and delivery in
the week 40 of pregnancy without any complications. Two years before the
diagnosis of PMF she had normal pregnancy. The patient was treated with
interferon-alpha and low dose aspirin during the whole pregnancy and with
low-molecular-weight heparin a week before delivery and 6 weeks after. The
patient had no complications during pregnancy. She delivered in term with
healthy, normal baby weight. Conclusion. Decision about treatment strategy of
pregnancy associated hematologic malignancies should be made for each patient
individually. |
