Primary myelofibrosis but not autoimmune myelofibrosis accompanied by Sjögren's syndrome and primary biliary cirrhosis in a patient with trisomy 8 mosaic: a case report and literature review.

Bone marrow fibrosis has been found to be associated with autoimmune disorders, and autoimmune myelofibrosis (AIMF) has been defined. Primary myelofibrosis (PMF), a clonal myeloproliferative disorder, should be distinguished from AIMF which has a good response to steroids, as the former has a high mortality and very bad response to conventional treatment. This case report describes a rare case of PMF accompanied with Sjögren's syndrome (SJS) and primary biliary cirrhosis (PBC), in a patient with trisomy 8 mosaic. Careful clinical assessment, gene mutation screening, and bone marrow evaluation can lead to an accurate diagnosis.
