    Abstract Myelodysplastic syndrome/myeloproliferative neoplasm with ring sideroblasts and thrombocytosis (MDS/MPN-RS-T) is a rare hematologic malignancy belonging to the category of myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS)/myeloproliferative neoplasm (MPN) overlap syndromes. While certain clinical features, including anemia and thrombocytosis, are common to both the MDS and MPN disease components, the biologic consequences of the spliceosome mutation SF3B1 results in notable clinical exceptions. Importantly, both overall and leukemia free survival are shorter for MDS/MPN-RS-T when compared to essential thrombocythemia (ET). In the case of MDS/MPN-RS-T, thrombotic risk is not associated with the presence of JAK2V617F, nor history of prior thrombosis, but is associated with the presence of the mutated spliceosome gene SF3B1. In this review, we highlight the biology, pathology, risk stratification, and treatment approach to MDS/MPN-RS-T. In particular, we focus on clinical management concepts, which are largely borrowed from MDS and MPN, including the use of cytoreduction, bone marrow stimulating agents, and the role of allogeneic stem cell transplantation. We end by highlighting unmet needs and future research priorities in MDS/MPN-RS-T.

    Abstract Introduction: The use of TKIs in CML has dramatically altered the natural course of the disease and improved outcomes for patients. TKIs overall have a very favorable safety profile. Dasatinib, a second generation TKI, is commonly used as a first-line treatment option in CML.
    Case report: We describe the first two reported cases of first-line dasatinib induced aplastic anemia in CML. In both patients, pancytopenia occurred within one year of diagnosis/starting dasatinib. Both bone marrow biopsies showed hypocellularity with mild fibrosis and persistent BCR-Abl1 positivity.
    Management & outcome: Dose reduction was attempted without success in both patients. In one patient, multiple TKIs were trialed, while in the other, growth factor support was attempted; neither regimen was effective. Ultimately, the cytopenias associated with dasatinib were only resolved after immunosuppression in one patient and allogeneic stem cell transplant in the other patient.
    Discussion: Prior reports have shown that aplasia/aplastic anemia can rarely be associated with imatinib and nilotinib. Here we show that dasatinib can lead to this phenomenon as well. This diagnosis should be considered in patients with CML who unexpectedly develop cytopenias.

    Abstract Chronic myelomonocytic leukemia (CMML) is a hematologic malignancy characterized by absolute monocytosis, one or more lineage dysplasia, and proliferative features including myeloid hyperplasia, splenomegaly, and constitutional symptoms. Because of vast clinical heterogeneity in presentation and course, risk stratification is used for a risk-adapted treatment strategy. Numerous prognostic scoring systems exist, some of which incorporate mutational information. Treatment ranges from observation to allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation. Therapies include hydroxyurea for cytoreduction, hypomethylating agents, and the JAK1/2 inhibitor ruxolitinib to address splenomegaly and constitutional symptoms. Recently, oral decitabine with cedazuridine was approved and represents a convenient treatment option for CMML patients. Although novel therapeutics are in development for CMML, further work is needed to elucidate possible targets unique to the CMML clone. In this review, we will detail the pathophysiology, risk stratification, available treatment modalities, and novel therapies for CMML, and propose a modern treatment algorithm. IMPLICATIONS FOR PRACTICE: Chronic myelomonocytic leukemia (CMML) is a clinically heterogenous disease, which poses significant management challenges. The diagnosis of CMML requires bone marrow biopsy and aspirate with thorough evaluation. Risk stratification and symptom assessment are essential to designing an effective treatment plan, which may include hypomethylating agents (HMAs) in intermediate or high-risk patients. The recently approved oral decitabine/cedazuridine provides a convenient alternative to parenteral HMAs. Ruxolitinib may be effective in ameliorating proliferative symptoms and splenomegaly. Allogeneic stem cell transplantation remains the only treatment with curative potential; however, novel therapies are in clinical development which may significantly alter the therapeutic landscape of CMML.

    Abstract Bone marrow fibrosis (BMF) is a histologic finding in a wide range of diseases, including malignancies, endocrine disorders, autoimmune diseases, and infections. Autoimmune myelofibrosis (AIMF) is an uncommon etiology of BMF; it can be secondary to a defined autoimmune disease, or it can be primary in the absence of a clinically diagnosed autoimmune disease but the presence of serologic evidence of autoantibodies. Distinguishing between primary myelofibrosis (PMF) and non-neoplastic AIMF is of the utmost importance because the prognosis and therapeutic options are different. This distinction, however, can be complicated by overlapping findings in the 2 disease entities. Here, using the case of a patient with BMF in the setting of idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura and autoimmune hemolytic anemia, we present a systematic approach to distinguishing between PMF and AIMF.

    Abstract Blastic plasmacytoid dendritic cell neoplasm (BPDCN) is a rare clonal hematologic malignancy of plasmacytoid dendritic cell precursors. The presentation and clinical course of BPDCN is widely heterogeneous and was most recently categorized as a distinct clinical entity by the World Health Organization in 2016. The expanded understanding of the pathobiology of BPDCN has improved diagnostic accuracy and informed novel targeted therapeutic options. The United States Food and Drug Administration-approval of tagraxofusp (SL-401) in December 2018 has focused attention on this leukemia frequently associated with skin involvement. Herein, we aim to: (1) review etiology; (2) summarize diagnostic criteria; and (3) discuss historic treatments and novel therapies for BPDCN.
