Blood data

Hb

Platelets
244
Blasts
0 no blasts
Bone marrow
8 Hypercellular bone marrow, myeloid hyperplasia with eosinophilia and at least 8% blasts. Erythropoiesis was decreased; megakaryocytes were distributed irregularly with different dysplastic forms.
Cyto path
Cytology
T-cell lymphoma / CML
Immunophenotype
Not performed.
Rearranged ig tcr
Not performed.
Pathology
Lymph node biopsy showed T-cell lymphoma, CD2, CD3, CD5, Ki-67 positive; CD34 negative and Ki-67 positive in 50% of neoplastic cells. T-cell blasts associated with perivascular eosinophil component.
Electron microscopy
Not performed.
Precise diagnosis
Myeloid and lymphoid neoplasms with FGFR1 abnormalities.
Survival data
Date diagnosis
07-2009
Treatment
Therapy by Hydrea (1000 mg/day) helped to decrease leukocytosis and less lymph node enlargement. The matched unrelated donor allogeneic human stem cell transplantation (MUD allo-HSCT) was performed in March 2011 after 3 courses of chemotherapy according to 7+3 protocol and myeloablative conditioning regimen with busulfan and cyclophosphamide.
Complete remission
- Stable complete hematological and cytogenetic remissions were achieved with hepatomegaly persisting.
Treatment relat death
+ There were many complications in post-transplant period, including serum disease, acute and chronic graft versus host diseases, steroid diabetes, CMV-infection.

Karyotype
Sample
Bone marrow aspirate
Culture time
24 without stimulating agents
Banding
GTG.
Results
Analysis of 20 metaphase cells revealed an abnormal female karyotype in all metaphases. 46,XX,t(6;8)(q27;p12)[20] .
Mol cytogenet technics
Fluorescence in situ hybridisation using the FGFR1 Breakapart probe was performed (Cytocell Aquarius, UK).
Mol cytogenet results
One split and one fused signals were observed resulting in 1 yellow, 1 red, 1 green, 2 blue conformation (in all bone marrow nuclei).
Other molec studies
Technics
RT-PCR on BCR-ABL.
Results
Negative.

Comments section
Comments
The myeloid and lymphoid neoplasms with FGFR1 abnormalities are usually ineradicable by conventional chemotherapy but occasional long-term remission patients have been reported following allogeneic bone marrow transplantation.
