Patra B et al. – Chronic idiopathic myelofibrosis (CIM) with myeloid metaplasia is a myeloproliferative disorder characterized by leukoerythroblastosis, tear drop erythrocytes, extra–medullary hematopoesis, and varying degree of myelofibrosis. CIM, presenting as refractory ascites secondary to peritoneal hematopoesis, is extremely rare with only six adult cases reported in literature. This is a report of a child with CIM presenting as refractory ascites as a consequence of EMH in the peritoneum. The patient was treated with intermittent hydroxyurea with favorable response over 3 weeks.
