  Fig. 1 Peripheral blood, bone marrow, and karyotypic findings of the patient. (A) Peripheral blood smear showing teardrop-shaped cells (arrow) and anisocytosis (Wright-Giemsa stain, ×400). (B) Bone marrow biopsy demonstrating proliferative and clustered megakaryocytes with atypia (arrow) (H&E stain, ×200). (C) Grade MF-2 reticulin fibrosis (arrow) (reticulin stain, ×400). (D) Karyotyping showing 46,XX,trp(1)(q21q32) (arrow). Abbreviations: H&E, Hematoxylin and Eosin; MF, myelofibrosis.
