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

19 year old woman with axillary nodule (University of Pittsburgh: Case of Month)

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

Differential diagnosis

Chronic eosinophilic leukemia - not otherwise categorized or hypereosinophilic syndrome (no FGFR1 rearrangement)
