Name

Myelodysplastic/myeloproliferative neoplasm with neutrophilia (MDS/MPN-N)

ICD-O-3 Morphology

9876/3: Atypical chronic myeloid leukemia, BCR-ABL1 negative
Effective 2001 and later

Reportable

for cases diagnosed 1978 and later

Primary Site(s)

C421
Primary site must be bone marrow (C421)

Abstractor Notes

Myelodysplastic/myeloproliferative neoplasm with neutrophilia (MDS/MPN-N) is part of the Myelodysplastic/myeloproliferative (MDS/MPN) lineage table in the WHO 5th edition of Hematolymphoid Tumors. (See Appendix B in the Hematopoietic Manual, Table B5)

MDS/MPN-N is uncommon.

Peripheral blood and bone marrow are always involved; splenic and hepatic involvement is common.

The diagnosis of MDS/MPN-N requires exclusion of the BCR::ABL1 fusion.

Diagnostic Confirmation

This histology can be determined by positive histology (including peripheral blood) with or without genetics and/or immunophenotyping. Review the Definitive Diagnostic Methods, Immunophenotyping and Genetics Data sections below, and the instructions in the Hematopoietic Manual for further guidance on assigning Diagnostic confirmation.

Module Rule

None

Alternate Names

Atypical chronic myeloid (aCML) leukemia, BCR::ABL1-negative
Atypical chronic myeloid leukemia, Philadelphia chromosome (Ph1) negative

Definition

Myelodysplastic/myeloproliferative neoplasm with neutrophilia (MDS/MPN-N), formerly known as atypical chronic myeloid leukemia, is a myeloid neoplasm with myelodysplastic and myeloproliferative features characterized by sustained peripheral blood neutrophilia and neutrophilic left shift. (WHO 5th edition)

Definitive Diagnostic Methods

Cytogenetics
Genetic testing
Histologic confirmation

Genetics Data

Chromosomal separation regulators (STAG2)
Enzymes (ETNK1)
Epigenetic regulators (SETBPI, EZH2)
Mutations associated with clonal hematopoiesis (ASXL1, TET2, DNMT3A)
Proliferative signaling pathways (CBL, JAK2, NF1, NRAS)
Splicing machinery (SRSF2, U2AF1, SF3B1, ZRSR2)
Transcription factors (CUX1, GATA2, RUNX1)

Immunophenotyping

None

Treatments

Chemotherapy
Hematologic Transplant and/or Endocrine Procedures
Immunotherapy

Age: 70-80 years median age
Incidence: 1-2 cases for every 100 cases of BCR-ABL1 positive (9875/3)
Sex: no male or female predominance
Survival: 14-29 months median survival time
