Myelodysplasia-Related Features of Acute Myeloid Leukemia Evolving From Philadelphia-Negative Myeloproliferative Neoplasms
Dear Editor, The WHO 2008 classification of myeloid neoplasms lists the following three diagnostic criteria for AML with myelodysplasia-related changes (MRC): AML arising from a previously diagnosed myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS) or MDS/myeloproliferative neoplasm (MPN), AML with an MDS-related cytogenetic abnormality, and AML with multi-lineage dysplasia [1]. However, a history of Philadelphia...
متن کاملTreatment of progression of Philadelphia-negative myeloproliferative neoplasms to myelodysplastic syndrome or acute myeloid leukemia by azacitidine: a report on 54 cases on the behalf of the Groupe Francophone des Myelodysplasies (GFM).
Transformation of Philadelphia (Ph)-negative myeloproliferative neoplasms (MPNs) to myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS) or acute myeloid leukemia (AML) is associated with poor response to chemotherapy and short survival. Fifty-four patients with Ph-negative MPN (including 21 essential thrombocythemia [ET], 21 polycythemia vera [PV], 7 primary myelofibrosis, and 5 unclassified MPN) who had progressed...
متن کاملASXL1 plays an important role in erythropoiesis
ASXL1 mutations are found in a spectrum of myeloid malignancies with poor prognosis. Recently, we reported that Asxl1(+/-) mice develop myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS) or MDS and myeloproliferative neoplasms (MPN) overlapping diseases (MDS/MPN). Although defective erythroid maturation and anemia are associated with the prognosis of patients with MDS or MDS/MPN, the role of ASXL1 in erythropoiesi...
متن کاملThe implication of identifying JAK2V617F in myeloproliferative neoplasms and myelodysplastic syndromes with bone marrow fibrosis
The myeloproliferative neoplasms (MPN) and myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS) occasionally demonstrate overlapping morphological features including hypercellularity, mild/nonspecific dysplastic changes and variable bone marrow fibrosis. Thus, when the associated bone marrow fibrosis results in a suboptimal specimen for morphological evaluation, the descriptive diagnosis "fibrotic marrow with featu...
متن کاملPeculiarities in the Diagnosis Approach of MDS /MPN-U Patients.
The most recent WHO Classification of Tumors of Haematopoietic and Lymphoid Tissues describes a set of diseases framed as the MDS / MPN (myelodysplastic / chronic myeloproliferative syndromes). There are four subtypes comprised in this category: chronic myelomonocytic leukemia, juvenile myelomonocytic leukemia, atypical chronic myeloid leukemia and unclassifiable MDS / MPN. They combine both my...
