Name

Myeloid/lymphoid neoplasms with PDGFRA rearrangement

ICD-O-3 Morphology

9965/3: Myeloid and lymphoid neoplasms with PDGFRA rearrangement
Effective 2010 and later

Reportable

for cases diagnosed 2010 and later

Primary Site(s)

C421
Primary site must be bone marrow (C421). Blood and bone marrow always involved.

Abstractor Notes

(This code is effective for cases diagnosed 2010 and later. For cases diagnosed prior to 2010 see code 9960/3.)

Myeloid/lymphoid neoplasms with PDGFRA rearrangement is part of the Myeloid/lymphoid neoplasms lineage table in the WHO 5th edition of Hematolymphoid Tumors. (See Appendix B in the Hematopoietic Manual, Table B8)

The peripheral blood and bone marrow are invariably involved. The lungs, heart, central and peripheral nervous system, skin, and gastrointestinal tract are among other frequently involved organs.

Diagnostic Confirmation

This histology can only be determined by positive genetics, diagnostic confirmation will always be 3.

Module Rule

C96.9 Malignant neoplasms of lymphoid, hematopoietic, and related tissue, unspecified

Alternate Names

None

Definition

Myeloid/lymphoid neoplasm with PDGFRA rearrangement includes myeloid and lymphoid neoplasms and is frequently associated with eosinophilia. The majority of cases are characterized by cytogenetically cryptic deletion of 4q12, resulting in formation of the FIP1L1::PDGFRA fusion gene, although other partner genes have been described. (WHO 5th edition)
