chronic myeloproliferative neoplasm - (pronounced) (KRAH-nik MY-eh-loh-proh-LIH-feh-ruh-tiv NEE-oh-PLA-to) type of disease in which the bone marrow makes too many red blood cells, platelets, or certain types of white blood cells. Chronic myeloproliferative neoplasms usually get worse over time as the number of extra cells accumulates in the blood and/or bone marrow. This can lead to bleeding problems, anemia, infection, fatigue, or other signs and symptoms. Certain chronic myeloproliferative neoplasms can progress to acute myeloid leukemia (AML). Chronic myeloproliferative neoplasms include chronic myeloid leukemia (CML), polycythemia vera, primary myelofibrosis, essential thrombocythemia, chronic neutrophilic leukemia, and chronic eosinophilic leukemia. Also called myeloproliferative neoplasia
