    Myelofibrosis is the gradual replacement of the bone marrow by connective tissue. Its main feature is "extramedullary hematopoeisis", i.e. the blood-forming cells migrate to other sites in the body, e.g. the liver or spleen. Typically affects patients > 50 years. Patients will typically have hepatosplenomegaly, and the blood smear will show "teardrop cells".
