Only few cases of vascular dissection and essential thrombocythemia association have been reported. To the best of our knowledge, we reported the second case of aortic dissection and essential thrombocythemia association in a 60-year-old man with positive JAK2V617F mutation who had no history of hypertension or connective tissue disorders. Through this case, we discussed the eventual existence of a causal relationship between the two conditions. We also suggested the use of hydroxyurea as a prevention treatment of thrombosis in myeloproliferative neoplasms. Copyright © 2022 Elsevier Masson SAS. All rights reserved.
