Sustained Response to Imatinib in a Pediatric Patient with Concurrent Myeloproliferative Disease and Lymphoblastic Lymphoma Associated with a CCDC88C-PDGFRB Fusion Gene.
Acta Haematologica 2019
BACKGROUND: The WHO defined myeloid and lymphoid neoplasms (MLN) with eosinophilia associated with PDGFRB, PDGFRA, FGFR1 rearrangements as a new entity in 2016. PDGFRB-rearranged MLN sensitive to imatinib were described in adult patients. We report the first pediatric patient with PDGFRB-rearranged myeloproliferative disorder associated with T-lymphoblastic lymphoma bearing the t(5; 14)(q33;q32) translocation who was successfully treated with imatinib only. Methods/Aims: Analysis of bone marrow and peripheral blood cells by fluorescent in situ hybridization identified the PDGFRB partner as CCDC88C. Whole genome sequencing of the patient's DNA identified the exact junction site, confirmed by PCR amplification and Sanger sequencing. A real-time quantitative PCR assay was designed to quantify the fused CCDC88C-PDGFRB product.
RESULTS: A 2.5-year-old boy was diagnosed with myeloproliferative disorder and eosinophilia associated with lymphoblastic lymphoma both bearing the CCDC88C-PDGFRB fusion. Imatinib therapy resulted in rapid clinical, hematological, and cytogenetic response. Molecular response to treatment was monitored by a real-time PCR assay specific for the CCDC88C- PDGFRB fusion.
CONCLUSION: This is the first description of MLN with eosinophilia in the pediatric age group. Response to treatment with imatinib only was monitored by specific quantitative PCR assay with sustained remission lasting 5.5 years from diagnosis.
