Abstract:
Objective To summarize and explore the morphological characteristics,genetic alterations,immunophenotype and characteristics of molecular marker of acute eosinophilic leukemia (AEL),and improve the awareness for AEL.Methods A case of refractory hematopoietic dysplasia (MDS-RCMD) transformed to AEL in our hospital was retrospectively reviewed.Results The MDS-RC-MD patient transformed to AEL in 12 months after diagnosis.In his special bone marrow 10.4% was blasts,while 70.8% of bone marrow cells were eosinophils including 69.3% of promyelocyte,myelocyte and metamyelocyte.Eosinophils accounted for 13.5% in his peripheral blood.The blasts in bone marrow expressed CD34,CD117,HLA-DR,CD33,CD38 and CD13,and accompanied by complex chromosomal abnormalities.FI1L1/PDGFRα and ETV6/PDGFRβ fusion gene were negative.The patient died two months later following treating with AML regimen.Conclusion The AEL patient with negative FI1L1/PDGFRα and ETV6/PDGFRβ gene rearrangement,imatinib treatment is ineffectual.
