Patient with clinical celiac disease mimicking triple‐negative essential thrombocythemia

However, ten percent–15% of ET patients are triple-negative, in which patients have no identifiable mutations. We introduce a young patient with no previous medical history who was screened for persistent thrombocytosis. She had positive antibodies for celiac disease, and the diagnosis was confirmed by a small bowel biopsy, which is the only diagnostic method for diagnosing celiac disease in adults. Before going to more costly tests, we recommend testing triple-negative ET patients for celiac disease.
