Chronic myeloproliferative disorders: A rarest case with oral manifestations and dental management

Abstract

Chronic myeloproliferative disorders (CMPD) are rarest hematological disorders (malignant myeloid neoplasms). The three most common chronic myeloproliferative disorders are polycythemia vera, essential thrombocythemia and chronic idiopathic myelofibrosis. Clinical manifestations (including oral manifestations) of these disorders are overlapping with each other and with other hematologic disorders, which makes the diagnosis of CMPD a challenging task. In this article we report a rare to rarest case of CMPD at dental outpatient department, its oral manifestations and its management in dental clinics.
