Is overlap myelodysplasticity myeloproliferative disorder a name for one disorder with common features of two disorders or the one blood disorder ?

Spectrum of disease : Myelodyaplastic syndrome is a type of myeloproliferative disorder. So it's one disease but there is a spectrum. Myelodyaplasia means abnormal looking blood cells seen in your blood or in the bone marrow. This is usually due to an underlying bone marrow issue like infection or a possible bone marrow cancer and a bone marrow biopsy could be warranted at this point. Talk to your doctor . Take care.

See below...: Myelodysplastic/myeloproliferative neoplasms (mds/mpd) represent a distinct group of bone marrow malignancies (cancers) with overlap features between pure mds and mpd entities. They include chronic myelomonocytic leukemia (cmml), atypical chronic myeloid leukemia (atypical cml), juvenile myelomonocytic leukemia (jmml), and mds/mpd unclassifiable.
