Abstract
A 53-year-old man presented with uncontrolled bleeding caused by acquired platelet dysfunction accompanied by calreticulin-mutated primary myelofibrosis. Based on the detection of abnormal platelets, including large gray platelets, under light microscopy and the loss of the second wave of aggregation observed by light transmission aggregometry, the patient was diagnosed with platelet dysfunction accompanied by myeloproliferative neoplasms (MPNs). In addition, the absence of platelet α-granules was confirmed by electron microscopy. Therefore, this condition may be termed "acquired gray platelet syndrome." Acquired platelet dysfunction must be ruled out when abnormal platelets are observed in patients with MPNs.
