%X Thrombocytosis, A common hematologic finding, can present as an incidental finding and pose a great diagnostic challenge. Thrombocytosis can be due to reactive process or due to primary clonal disorder. Platelet count more than 1,000 x10 3/mm 3 is usually caused by clonal disorder. Reactive causes like iron deficiency anemia rarely lead to platelet counts more than 700x10 3/mm 3. Here we report a case of a young man presenting with celiac disease associated with thrombocytosis with a platelet count of 1,489 x10 3/mm 3. Keywords: Thrombocytosis; Celiac disease; Iron deficiency anemia
