Figure 1: A. The peripheral smear examination shows increased RBC density, confirming erythrocytosis with mild thrombocytopenia; B. A bone marrow aspirate is normocellular for age; C. Adequate erythroid cells are present; D. The trephine biopsy is normocellular and shows adequate megakaryocytes with normal morphology. This is in contrast to polycythemia vera where panmyelosis leads to a hypercellular marrow, and the megakaryocytes are pleomorphic.
