Myeloid and lymphoid neoplasm with novel complex translocation: unusual case report with T-lymphoblastic lymphoma, myeloid hyperplasia, eosinophilia, basophilia, and t(1;8;10)( (p31;q24;q11.2)

Abstract

Myeloid and lymphoid neoplasms with eosinophilia (M/Ls-Eo) encompass heterogeneous but aggressive hematopoietic disorders triggered by fusion genes or mutations that typically lead to constitutive overexpression of tyrosine kinase. The occurrence of T-lymphoblastic lymphoma in the setting of M/Ls-Eo has been reported rarely in the literature. Herein, we present an unusual case of a 28-year-old male patient who presented with massive lymphadenopathy and T-lymphoblastic lymphoma in the lymph node occurring concurrently with myeloid hyperplasia, eosinophilia and basophilia in peripheral blood and bone marrow biopsy. The syndrome was associated with a novel complex karyotype involving der(8)t(1;8;10)(p31;q24;q11.2). The FISH study was negative for BCR::ABL1, JAK2, PDGFRA, PDGFRB, and FGFR1 rearrangements. The patient's clinical course was aggressive and resistant to multiple lines of intensive chemotherapy regimens. Therefore, he underwent allogenic stem cell transplantation with a fully matched donor. A brief review of the occurrence of T-LBL in conjunction with M/Ls-Eo neoplasm was made with a special focus on molecular aspects.
