Imatinib-resistant tyrosine kinase (TK) fusions involving FGFR1, JAK2, or FLT3 are rare but recurrent in patients with eosinophilia-associated neoplasms. We report here 2 male patients with ETV6-FLT3(+) myeloid/lymphoid neoplasms with eosinophilia who were treated with the multitargeted TK
ETV6/ABL is a rare gene rearrangement that has rarely been detected in Philadelphia-negative chronic myeloproliferative disorders (C-MPD) and found to have tyrosine kinase activity similar to the BCR/ABL fusion protein. We describe a case of a 61-year-old female with a C-MPD associated with an
The described case of FIP1L1-PDGFRА-positive myeloproliferative disease is characterized by an atypical aggressive course to develop severe specific complications as injuries to the brain, heart, lung, and intestine. Pathogenetic therapy with imatinib could stabilize a patient's state, but failed to
The classification and diagnostic criteria of the myeloproliferative neoplasms have changed significantly in the 2008 World Health Organization monograph on the classification of hematologic malignancies. Many of the changes arose from the findings that the different malignancies are associated with
Eosinophilia is a recurrent feature and diagnostic clue in several hematologic malignancies. In stem cell- and myelopoietic neoplasms, eosinophils are derived from the malignant clone, whereas in lymphoid neoplasms and reactive states, eosinophilia is usually triggered by eosinopoietic cytokines.
For the last 2 years, a 55-year-old man had painful, recurrent oral ulcers. Histological examination showed non-specific inflammation. Eosinophilia in the blood and bone marrow raised the suspicion of hypereosinophilic syndrome. No other specific organ involvement was observed. The diagnosis was
Allergic asthma is a chronic inflammatory disease characterized by Th2-type inflammation. Although the cellular interactions are now well studied, the intracellular signaling involved in asthma development is still a developing field. Protein tyrosine kinases are one focus of such research and their
Fusion genes involving the catalytic domain of tyrosine kinases (TKs) play an important role in the pathogenesis of hematological malignancies and solid tumors. In BCR-ABL1-negative myeloproliferative neoplasms (MPNs) several different tyrosine kinase fusion events have been described, most commonly
As well as playing vital roles in main cellular processes, such as abnormal proliferation, differentiation, survival, apoptosis, and a lot of tyrosine kinases (TK) are involved in oncogenesis. TK or components of their signal pathways have been found abnormal in many hematological malignancies.
Hypereosinophilic syndrome (HES) is a rare disorder characterized by persistent and marked eosinophilia, leading to end-organ damage. Over the last decade, great progress has been made in unraveling the molecular basis of HES that has resulted in the characterization of specific genetic alterations
Imatinib (STI571, Gleevec/Glivec) and other small-molecule tyrosine kinase inhibitors are highly effective in the treatment of chronic myeloid leukemia (CML), gastrointestinal stromal tumors and, for example, eosinophilia-associated chronic myeloproliferative disorders. This molecularly targeted
Recent advances in our understanding of the molecular mechanisms underlying hypereosinophilia have led to the development of a 'molecular' classification of myeloproliferative disorders with eosinophilia. The revised 2008 World Health Organization classification of myeloid neoplasms included a new
