- Abstract
The article describes the case of a 63-year-old female affected by thrombocytopenia discovered at the age of 25. Topics discussed include finding on the analysis of peripheral blood smear of the patient, a diagnosis of MYH9-related platelet disorders (MYH9-RD), and detection of the presence of large platelets on the basis of the mean platelet volume (MPV) measured by means of a cell counter using optical technology and confirmed by the microscopic observation of blood smear.
