Reportable

for cases diagnosed 2021 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 2021 and later. For cases diagnosed prior to 2021 see code: 9975/3.)

Myeloid/lymphoid neoplasms with JAK2 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 involved. Patients often have hepatosplenomegaly.

Diagnostic Confirmation

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

Module Rule

None

Alternate Names

Myeloid/lymphoid neoplasm with ETV6::ABL1 fusion
Myeloid/lymphoid neoplasm with FLT3 rearrangement
Myeloid/lymphoid neoplasm with other tyrosine kinase fusion genes
Myeloid/lymphoid neoplasm with PCM1-JAK2

Definition

Myeloid/lymphoid neoplasm with JAK2 rearrangement: This entity comprises myeloid and/or lymphoid neoplasms associated with a JAK2 fusion. The most common fusion partner for this entity is PCM1, although many additional partner genes result in JAK2 fusions driving myeloid and/or lymphoid neoplasms that fall into this diagnostic category. (WHO 5th edition)

Myeloid/lymphoid neoplasm with FLT3 rearrangement:
Myeloid/lymphoid neoplasms with FLT3 rearrangement are hematopoietic stem cell neoplasms associated with gene rearrangements forming a fusion gene involving the fms-related receptor tyrosine kinase 3 gene (FLT3), usually producing a myeloproliferative neoplasm and/or T-lymphoblastic leukemia/lymphoma with associated eosinophilia, although the phenotypic presentation may be variable and diverse. (WHO 5th edition)

Myeloid/lymphoid neoplasm with ETV6::ABL1 fusion: Myeloid/lymphoid neoplasm with ETV6::ABL1 fusion is a hematopoietic stem cell neoplasm associated with fusion of the genes ETV6 and ABL1. (WWHO 5th edition)
