AB Chronic  myeloproliferative  disorder  caused  by  a  clonal  increase  in  platelets  resulting  in  thromboembolic  and  hemorrhagic  complications.  It  is  a  rare  chronic  blood  condition  characterized  by  overproduction  of  platelets  by  megakaryocytes  in  the  bone  marrow.  It  is  believed  to  eventually  develop  into  acute  myeloid  leukemia  or  myelofibrosis.  It  is  one  of  four  myeloproliferative  neoplasms,  defined  as  hematological  cancers  due  to  inappropriate  amount  of  one  of  its  constituents,  ie,  erythrocytes,  leukocytes,  or  platelets.
