ABSTRACT
Essential thrombocythemia (ET) is a myeloproliferative neoplasm classical Philadelphia chromosome-
negative consisting of an increase in the production of platelets. The clinical diagnosis requires exclusion
of other causes of myeloproliferative disorders and reactive thrombocytosis. The ET is a rare disorder,
with an incidence of 1-3 cases/100,000 hab/year, being more frequent in women (60%) and in
the 5th-6th decade of life, although 15-20% of patients are under 40 years old. The cause is unknown,
being an acquired disorder, the 23-57% of patients presenting mutation JAK2-V617F. While most patients
are asymptomatic, ET increases the risk of thrombohemorrhagic complications. Cytoreduction
and inhibitor platelet pharmacologic therapy prevent complications of thrombosis. We report a patient
with an infarction digital in the fingers of the hand during the treatment of essential thrombocythemia.
