Overview

CT scan may be helpful in the diagnosis of myelofibrosis. Findings on CT scan suggestive of myelofibrosis include diffuse bone sclerosis.

CT

  • CT scan may be helpful in the diagnosis of myelofibrosis.
  • Findings on CT scan suggestive of myelofibrosis can be divided into scans of different locations such as:

Skeletal CT Findings

  • Diffuse osteosclerosis[1]
  • Sandwich vertebrae (increased radiodensity or condensation of bone at the superior and inferior margins of the vertebral body)

Chest CT Findings

  • Pulmonary extramedullary hematopoiesis manifesting as:
  • Atypical diffuse groundglass opacity[2]
  • Pulmonary nodules
  • Interstitial thickening
  • Multiple soft tissue masses in bilateral thoracic cavities[3]

Abdominal CT Findings

  • Thrombus formation in the visceral vasculature[4]
  • Bilateral renal enlargement (as a result of extramedullary hematopoiesis)[5][6][7][8]
  • Splenomegaly[9][6][10]
  • Hepatomegaly[6][11][12]
