Definition

The category 'myeloid/lymphoid neoplasm with eosinophilia and rearrangement of PDGFRA, PDGFRB or FGFR1, or with PCM1-JAK2' contains three specific rare disease groups and a provisional entity. Within this category, features shared are the formation of a fusion gene, or (rarely) from a mutation, resulting in the expression of an aberrant tyrosine kinase.

Myeloid/lymphoid neoplasms with PDGFRA rearrangement is the most common neoplasm associated with PDGFRA and is associated with FIP1L1-PDGFRA gene fusion, which occurs as a result of a cryptic deletion at 4q12. These neoplasms generally present as chronic eosinophilic leukemia (CEL), but can also present as acute myeloid leukemia, T-lymphoblastic leukemia lymphoma, or both simultaneously.

Organ damage (heart, lungs, central and peripheral nervous system, skin and GI tract) occurs as a result of leukemic infiltration or the release of cytokines, enzymes or other proteins by eosinophils. The peripheral blood eosinophil count is usually markedly elevated.

There is no Philadelphia (Ph) chromosome or BCR-ABL1 fusion gene, except when there is transformation to acute leukemia, there are less than 20% blasts in the peripheral blood and bone marrow.
