The association of megaloblastic vitamin B12 deficiency anemia and essential thrombocythemia is very rarely described in the literature. We reported a case of a 65-year-old patient with an isolated chronic anemic syndrome secondary to megaloblastic vitamin B12 deficiency anemia treated with vitamin B12 therapy by injection. The evolution was marked three months after treatment by the an ischemic cerebrovascular accident and thrombocytosis. Additional investigations confirmed essential thrombocythemia. The patient was put under hydroxyuria and an anticoagulant treatment with a good evolution.
