ABSTRACT
Essential thrombocythemia in childhood is a rare clonal myeloproliferative disorder in the multipotent stem cell origin and is associated with an increased risk of thrombohemorrhagic complications. The one of diagnostic criteria is a platelet count of more than 600,000/mm3. We diagnosed this disease in 8 year old boy incidentally and treated with hydroxyurea. We report a case of essential thrombocythemia to summarize the current trends in the diagnosis and management with a brief review of related literatures.
