Abstract
A total of 63 myeloproliferative neoplasms [MPN; 9 polycythemia vera (PV), 32 essential
thrombocythemia (ET), and 22 myelofibrosis (MF)] underwent spleen stiffness (SS)
measurement by vibration-controlled transient elastography equipped with a novel
spleen-dedicated module. Higher SS values significantly correlated with grade 2-3
bone marrow (BM) fibrosis (p=0.035), with hemoglobin level <10 g/dl (p=0.014) and
with white blood cells ≥10,000/ml (p=0.008). Median SS was significantly higher in MF
patients compared to ET and PV (p=0.015). SS also correlated with higher JAK2 variant
allele frequency (p=0.02). This study identifies SS as a potential noninvasive tool that
reflects BM fibrosis and the mutational burden in MPN.
