A minority of patients present with acute leukemia, either myeloid or T-lymphoblastic with preceding eosinophilia being documented or being present at the time of diagnosis. 5 The prototype of this group of neoplasms is CEL associated with a FIP1L1-PDGFRA [clinicalgate.com]

Clinics Patients typically present with splenomegaly with hepatomegaly being less frequent; lymphadenopathy may also be seen. As with abnormalities of PDGFRA, skin and cardiac infiltration may be present at diagnosis with resulting cardiac damage. [atlasgeneticsoncology.org]

• Cervical Lymphadenopathy

  Two patients had generalized lymphadenopathy and splenomegaly (cases 137 and 246), and one patient had cervical lymphadenopathy (case 12). [ajcp.oxfordjournals.org]

  Conventional cytogenetics (karyotyping) will detect the majority of abnormalities involving PDGFRB and FGFR1, but florescence in situ hybridization (FISH)/molecular studies are required to detect factor interacting with PAP (FIP1L1)-PDGFRA as the characteristic [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

  For these considerations, one can submit peripheral blood for FISH - BCR/ABL t(9;22), FISH -del 4q12; and PCR for JAK2 V617F mutation. [mplnet.com]

  Description: TESTS AVAILABLE: Karyotyping and FISH. [viapath.co.uk]

  Test Methodology Fluorescence In Situ Hybridization (FISH) Analysis. Interpretation A positive FISH result indicates deletion of the CHIC2 gene which lies between the FIP1L1 and PDGFRa loci in band 4q12. [beaumontlaboratory.com]

  Analysis by FISH confirmed FGFR1 gene rearrangement in all samples. [ajcp.oxfordjournals.org]

• Severe Pain

• Abdominal Mass

  Concurrent computerized tomography (CT) of the abdomen and pelvis also detected enlarged retroperitoneal lymph nodes, a large abdominal mass, and bone metastases. A CT guided biopsy of the abdominal mass revealed low-grade follicular lymphoma. [hoajonline.com]

• Back Pain

  Subsequently, the patient developed worsening of the back pain and lower extremity numbness. CBC at this time showed leukocytosis (9,900/µl) with absolute eosinophils of 3,000/µl. [jscimedcentral.com]

  Case 90 was from a man who had severe back pain, splenomegaly, and bilateral pelvic lymphadenopathy. A fine-needle aspiration of the lymph node showed myeloid sarcoma. [ajcp.oxfordjournals.org]

• Skin Rash

  Symptoms related to release of eosinophilic granules occur, commonly skin rash and erythema and less frequently pulmonary, gastrointestinal tract, and/or cardiac manifestations. [ajcp.oxfordjournals.org]

• Skin Lesion

  As in the case described here, some patients also displayed skin lesions, and it is conceivable that these arise as a consequence of aberrant PDGFRB signaling because this receptor is normally involved in wound healing and repair of skin lesions. [cancerres.aacrjournals.org]
