Article Synopsis
- Splanchnic vein thrombosis (SVT) is a serious complication linked to essential thrombocythemia (ET), particularly associated with the JAK2 mutation, which is common in patients with ET.
- A case study reveals a young woman exhibiting SVT as the initial sign of latent ET, despite not meeting all diagnostic criteria for myeloproliferative disease and negative thrombophilia screening.
- The presence of the JAK2(V617F) mutation is crucial for identifying masked myeloproliferative disease, and anticoagulation treatment is recommended for SVT, especially in patients with this mutation.
