Abstract
We report two cases of foot ischemia combining microvascular thrombosis related to essential thrombocytemia (ET) and a proximal ulcerating atherosclerotic plaque. This suggests that myeloproliferative neoplasms could also trigger distal embolism from an unstable atherosclerotic plaque by creating a prothrombotic status. These distal ischemic events were the first ET manifestation and therefore lead to myeloproliferative neoplasm diagnosis. In ET, thrombosis event can occur with a normal platelet count. Furthermore, hemogram should be regularly controlled among JAK2 muted patients considering the frequent evolution from isolated JAK2 mutation to ET.
