Summary
Diagnostic category of MDS/MPN includes clonal hematopoietic neoplasms, which show the concomitant clinical, laboratory and/or morphologic features of both myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS) and myeloproliferative neoplasm (MPN) at the time of diagnosis. Cytopenia and dysplasia of one or more myeloid lineages (the MDS features) can be present accompanied with leukocytosis, thrombocytosis and/or organomegaly (all features more often related to MPN). Patients with a previous diagnosis of MPN who develop the myelodysplastic alterations secondary to disease evolution or chemotherapy are not assigned to this diagnostic category. According to the WHO (World Health Organization) classification from 2008 and the 2016 revision, the MDS/MPN category includes five entities as follows: CMML (chronic myelomonocytic leukemia), JMML (juvenile myelomonocytic leukemia), aCML (atypical chronic myeloid leukemia) BCR-ABL1–, MDS/MPN-RS-T (MDS/MPN with ring sideroblasts and thrombocytosis) and MDS/MPN-U (MDS/MPN, unclassifiable).
