RESUMO
Objective: Analysis of the molecular characteristics of eosinophilia. Methods: Targeting sequence to 24 patients with chronic eosinophilic leukemia (CEL) with rearrangement of PDGFRA, PDGFRB, or FGFR1 and 62 patients with hyper-eosinophilic syndrome (HES). Mutation annotation and analysis of amino acid mutation using authoritative databases to speculate on possible pathogenic mutation. Results: Thirty-seven kinds of clonal variant were detected from 17 patients with CEL, no recurrent mutation site and hot spot region were found. No pathogenic mutation was detected in 19 patients with PDGFRA rearrangement, but pathogenic mutations of ASXL1, RUNX1 and NRAS were detected from 2 patients with FGFR1 rearrangement who progressed to acute myeloid leukemia and 1 patient with PDGFRB rearrangement who progressed to T lymphoblastic lymphoma, respectively. One hundred and two kinds of clonal abnormalities were detected in 49 patients with HES. The main hot spot mutation regions included: CEBPA Exon1, TET2 Exon3, ASXL1 Exon12, IDH1 Y208C, and FGFR3 L164V. CRRLF2 P224L and PDGFRB R370C point mutations were detected separately in 2 patients with HES who treated with imatinib monotherapy and achieved hematologic remission. Conclusion: The pathogenesis of CEL with PDGFRA, PDGFRB or FGFR1 rearrangement is usually single, and the progression of the disease may involve other driver mutation. A variety of genes with hot mutation regions may be involved in the pathogenesis of HES, and some mutation sites are sensitive to tyrosine kinase inhibitors.

We report a patient with massive eosinophilia and a complex karyotype that was initially misdiagnosed as chronic eosinophilic leukemia (CEL), but later diagnosed as anaplastic large cell lymphoma (ALCL) masked by massive eosinophilia. The complex karyotype observed at initial diagnosis remained unchanged later, after the evidence of bone marrow involvement of ALCL was obtained. At diagnosis, genetic aberrations corresponding to metaphase cytogenetics were not identified by interphase fluorescence in situ hybridization, although abnormal results were noted at follow-up. Together, these observations indicate that the complex karyotype at initial work-up has been derived from a low proportion of lymphoma cells with high mitotic ability that were not identified by microscopy, rather than from massive eosinophils. These findings suggest that our patient had ALCL with secondary eosinophilia rather than CEL since initial diagnosis.

We report a case of chronic eosinophilic leukemia in a 9 year old girl who presented with anemia, thrombocytopenia, leucocytosis (mostly dysplastic eosinophils), lymphadenopathy and hepatosplenomegaly. There was no increase in blasts but myelofibrosis was seen in the bone marrow. A previously unreported translocation 46,XX,t(1;4)(q24;q35), was found on cytogenetic analysis and involvement of the myocardium was also present. Shortly after commencing steroids, the family abandoned therapy.
