Definition / general
  • First described in 1995 as 8p11 myeloproliferative syndrome (Leukemia 1995;9:1628); previously called stem cell leukemia / lymphoma syndrome
  • Aggressive hematologic malignancy characterized by myeloid hyperplasia, eosinophilia and precursor lymphoblastic lymphoma, usually T cell type (Acta Haematol 2002;107:101, Am J Surg Pathol 2008;32:14)
  • Can present as myeloproliferative neoplasm or in transformation as AML
Diagnosis
  • Bone marrow examination with tryptase stain, T cell clonal studies
  • Use of immunostains, cytogenetics and molecular studies to detect FGFR1 rearrangement and absence of BCR-ABL
Case reports
Microscopic (histologic) description
  • Peripheral blood: eosinophila and neutrophilia, with occasionally monocytosis
  • Bone marrow: hypercellular with myeloid hyperplasia and eosinophilia, no increased blasts, no dysplastic features

Various images

Molecular / cytogenetics description
  • Balanced translocations with 8p11, most commonly t(8;13)(p11;q12) - FGFR1 and ZNF198 (Blood 1998;92:1735)
  • 8p11 may also involve MOZ gene, a putative histone acetyltransferase, associated with AML-M4 / M5 (Blood 1997;90:3130)
  • t(5;12)(q33;p13) creating PDGFRB and ETV6 is associated with chronic myelomonocytic leukemia with eosinophilia (Acta Haematol 2002;107:113)
  • FGFR1 associated with leukemia / lymphoma should be classified as leukemia / lymphoma associated with FGFR1 rearrangement
