This brief case report describes a sustained haematological remission obtained in a patient with primary myelofibrosis treated by bone marrow curettage after previous therapy with androgens was unsuccessful. The patient remains in haematological remission 5 years after the procedure. It is suggested that this procedure be attempted in more cases of myelofibrosis.
