Hyper eosinophilia associated with myeloid and lymphoid neoplasms
Authors
Abstract:
Eosinophilia in the absence of allergies, asthma, drug reactions, parasitic infections and connective tissue diseases can be eosinophilic clonal disorders, lymphoma or myeloproliferative disorders. Hypereosinophilia with the persistence of eosinophils ≥1500 /mm³ in blood or more than 20% of eosinophils in the bone marrow may be observed in many reactive or clonal disorders, the result of which is invasion of organs and the secretion of granules and multi-organ failure. For a patient with hypereosinophilia, reactive causes such as allergies, asthma, medications, infections, autoimmune disorders, or solid tissue tumors should be investigated. If reactive causes are not found, primary eosinophilia should be considered. According to the WHO revision 2016, FISH or RT-PCR for FIPIL1-PDGFRA fusion and cytogenetic and FISH for gene rearrangements on chromosomes 4q12 (PDGFRA), 5q31-33 (PDGFRB), 8p11-12 (FGFR1) and 9P24 (Jak2) are essential. Chronic eosinophilic leukemia is considered in the presence of ≥1.5 × 109/L absolute eosinophil count. These patients should lack myeloproliferative family genetic markers (such as t (9;22) and Jak2, CARL and CMPL mutations) and also lack myeloid/lymphoid genetic rearrangements associated with eosinophilia (including PDGFRA, PDGFRB and FGFR1).

Myeloid neoplasms with eosinophilia.
Molecular diagnostics has generated substantial dividends in dissecting the genetic basis of myeloid neoplasms with eosinophilia. The family of diseases generated by dysregulated fusion tyrosine kinase (TK) genes is recognized by the World Health Organization (WHO) category, "Myeloid/lymphoid neoplasms with eosinophilia and rearrangement of PDGFRA, PDGFRB, or FGFR1, or with PCM1-JAK2" In additi...

The 2008 World Health Organization (WHO) classification of tumors of hematopoietic and lymphoid tissues introduced a new category for myeloid and lymphoid neoplasms with eosinophilia and abnormalities of PDGFRA, PDGFRB or FGFR1. Many of these cases present as a myeloproliferative neoplasm, usually with eosinophilia. However, neoplasms associated with rearrangement of PDGFRA can present as acute...

Myeloid sarcoma is a rare extramedullary tumor of immature myeloid cells. It has been very rarely reported as lateral cervical mass in English literature. Myeloid sarcoma has also been reported with marked eosinophilia. Here we present a 17 year old boy with lateral cervical mass and persistent eosinophilia. The mass was isointense in MRI and homogenously enhanced after contrast injection which...

One of the confusing aspects of the lymphoid neoplasms concerns the use of the descriptive terms "lymphocytic leukemia" and "lymphoma." Leukemia is used for lymphoid neoplasms presenting with widespread involvement of the bone marrow, usually accompanied by the presence of large numbers of tumor cells in the peripheral blood. Lymphoma, on the other hand, is used to describe proliferations arisi...

Acute lymphoblastic leukemia with eosinophilia (ALLEo) is a rare but a distinctive clinical entity. Clinical features of idiopathic hyper-eosinophilic syndrome (HES) can be seen in patients with ALLEo. We report a 10-year-old girl, in whom HES was initially suspected but further investigation confirmed the diagnosis of acute B-cell lymphoblastic leukemia with myeloid antigen expression. Clinica...
