Sažetak
Polycythemia vera (PV) is a chronic myeloproliferative neoplasm resulting in increased red blood cell mass. It can lead to various symptoms caused by blood hyperviscosity and an elevated number of red blood cells. Both thrombosis and bleeding complications can occur in PV. Splenic infarction is a rare complication with an unknown incidence usually presenting with pain in the upper left quadrant of the abdomen. The treatment is usually conservative, but there are some complications requiring surgery. We describe an elderly female patient who presented to the emergency department with left costal margin pain which was caused by splenic infarction.
