Myelodysplastic Syndromes Myeloproliferative Disorders

Myelodysplastic Syndromes characterized by maturation defects that are associated with ineffective hematopoiesis and a high risk of transformation to AML.

MDS may be either: primary (idiopathic) Secondary to previous genotoxic drug or radiation therapy (t-MDS). All forms of MDS can transform to AML, but transformation occurs with highest frequency and most rapidly in t-MDS.

Pathogenesis: The pathogenesis of MDS is poorly understood, Both primary MDS and t-MDS are associated with similar recurrent chromosomal abnormalities, including monosomies 5 and 7, deletions of 5q, 7q, and 20q, and trisomy 8.

MORPHOLOGY: the marrow is usually hypercellular at diagnosis, it is sometimes normocellular or, less commonly, hypocellular. The most characteristic finding is disordered (dysplastic) differentiation affecting the erythroid, granulocytic, monocytic, and megakaryocytic lineages to varying degrees

Erythroid: ring sideroblasts: erythroblasts with iron-laden mitochondria visible as perinuclear granules in Prussian blue-stained aspirates or biopsies; megaloblastoid maturation, resembling that seen in vitamin B12 and folate deficiency Nuclear budding abnormalities

Neutrophils: - decreased numbers of secondary granules - toxic granulations Döhle bodies. Pseudo-Pelger-Hüet cells: neutrophils with only two nuclear lobes

Megakaryocytes single nuclear lobes or multiple separate nuclei giant platelets in blood

Myeloid blasts may be increased but make up less than 20% of the overall marrow cellularity

Clinical Features: A disease of older adults; the mean age of onset is 70 years. In up to half of the cases, it is discovered incidentally on routine blood testing. When symptomatic, it presents with weakness, infections, and hemorrhages, all due to pancytopenia.

The median survival in primary MDS varies from 9 to 29 months, but some individuals in good prognostic groups may live for 5 years or more. Progression to AML occurs in 10% to 40% of individuals t-MDS: cytopenias tend to be more severe and progression to AML is often rapid. median survival of only 4 to 8 months

Treatment options: hematopoietic stem cell transplantation Thalidomide-like drugs and DNA methylation inhibitors improve the effectiveness of hematopoiesis and the peripheral blood counts

Myeloproliferative Disorders The common pathogenic feature of the myeloproliferative disorders is the presence of mutated, constitutively activated tyrosine kinases or other acquired aberrations in signaling pathways that lead to growth factor independence.

Because the tyrosine kinase mutations underlying the various myeloproliferative disorders do not impair differentiation, the most common consequence is an increase in the production of one or more mature blood elements.

There is a considerable degree of clinical and morphologic overlap among the myeloproliferative disorders. The common features include: 1- Increased proliferative drive in the bone marrow 2- Homing of the neoplastic stem cells to secondary hematopoietic organs, producing extramedullary hematopoiesis 3- Variable transformation to a spent phase characterized by marrow fibrosis and peripheral blood cytopenias 4- Variable transformation to acute leukemia

Chronic Myelogenous Leukemia Distinguished from other myeloproliferative disorders by the presence of a chimeric BCR-ABL gene derived from portions of the BCR gene on chromosome 22 and the ABL gene on chromosome 9. In more than 90% of cases, BCR-ABL is created by a reciprocal (9;22)(q34;q11) translocation (the so-called Philadelphia chromosome [Ph]).

MORPHOLOGY: The marrow is markedly hypercellular because of massively increased numbers of maturing granulocytic precursors, which usually include an elevated proportion of eosinophils and basophils. Megakaryocytes are also increased and usually include small, dysplastic forms. Erythroid progenitors are present in normal or mildly decreased numbers. - Increased deposition of reticulin is typical, but overt marrow fibrosis is rare early in the course. blood reveals a leukocytosis, often exceeding 100,000 cells/mm3 Blasts usually make up less than 10% of the circulating cells. Platelets are also usually increased The spleen is often greatly enlarged as a result of extensive extramedullary hematopoiesis

Clinical Features: - CML is primarily a disease of adults but also occurs in children and adolescents. The peak incidence is in the fifth to sixth decades of life. The onset is insidious Anemia, fatigability, weakness, weight loss, and anorexia pain due to splenic infarction The natural history is one of slow progression; even without treatment, the median survival is about 3 years.

accelerated phase: marked by increasing anemia and thrombocytopenia, sometimes accompanied by a rise in the number of basophils in the blood. Within 6 to 12 months, the accelerated phase terminates in a picture resembling acute leukemia (blast crisis). In the other 50% of patients, blast crises occur abruptly without an accelerated phase.

Treatment with BCR-ABL inhibitors results in sustained hematologic remissions in greater than 90% of patients, with generally tolerable side effects. hematopoietic stem cell transplantation performed in the stable phase is curative in about 75% of cases.

Polycythemia Vera Polycythemia vera is strongly associated with activating point mutations in the tyrosine kinase JAK2.

characterized by increased marrow production of red cells, granulocytes, and platelets (panmyelosis), but it is the increase in red cells (polycythemia) that is responsible for most of the clinical symptoms. serum erythropoietin levels in PCV are low, whereas secondary forms of polycythemia have high erythropoietin levels.

MORPHOLOGY: The marrow is hypercellular The increase in red cell progenitors is subtle and usually accompanied by an increase in granulocytic precursors and megakaryocytes as well. The peripheral blood often contains increased numbers of basophils and abnormally large platelets.

PCV often progresses to a spent phase characterized by extensive marrow fibrosis that displaces hematopoietic cells. This is accompanied by increased extramedullary hematopoiesis in the spleen and liver, often leading to prominent organomegaly. This transition in about 15% to 20% of patients after an average period of 10 years.

Clinical Features: It appears insidiously, usually in adults of late middle age. The elevated hematocrit leads to increased blood viscosity and sludging. These hemodynamic factors, together with thrombocytosis and abnormal platelet function, make patients with PCV prone to both thrombosis and bleeding (deep venous thrombosis, myocardial infarction, stroke, bowel infarction, portal and hepatic vein thrombosis,epistaxis, bleeding gums) Patients are plethoric and cyanotic due to stagnation and deoxygenation of blood in peripheral vessels. Headache, dizziness, hypertension, and gastrointestinal symptoms are common. Intense pruritus and peptic ulceration may occur, both possibly resulting from the release of histamine from basophils. High cell turnover gives rise to hyperuricemia; symptomatic gout is seen in 5% to 10% of cases.

The hemoglobin concentration ranges from 14 to 28 gm/ dL The hematocrit is usually 60% or more. The white cell count ranges from 12,000 to 50,000 cells/mm3 The platelet count is often greater than 500,000 platelets/mm3

simply maintaining the red cell mass at nearly normal levels by phlebotomy extends the median survival to about 10 years In about 2% of patients, PCV transforms to AML.

Essential Thrombocytosis Essential thrombocytosis (ET) is often associated with activating point mutations in JAK2 (50% of cases) or MPL (5% to 10% of cases), a receptor tyrosine kinase that is normally activated by thrombopoietin.

ET manifests clinically with elevated platelet counts and is separated from PCV and primary myelofibrosis based on the absence of polycythemia and marrow fibrosis, respectively. causes of reactive thrombocytosis, such as inflammatory disorders and iron deficiency, must be excluded before the diagnosis can be established.

Morphology: - Bone marrow cellularity is usually only mildly increased, megakaryocytes are often markedly increased in number and include abnormally large forms the overt fibrosis of primary myelofibrosis is absent.

Uncommonly, a spent phase of marrow fibrosis or transformation to AML supervenes.

Clinical features: usually occurs past the age of 60 but may also be seen in young adults Dysfunctions of platelets derived from the neoplastic clone can lead to thrombosis and hemorrhage One characteristic symptom is erythromelalgia, a throbbing and burning of hands and feet caused by occlusion of small arterioles by platelet aggregates, which may also be seen in PCV

ET is an indolent disorder Median survival times are 12 to 15 years Therapy consists of “gentle” chemotherapeutic agents that suppress thrombopoiesis

Primary Myelofibrosis The hallmark of primary myelofibrosis is the development of obliterative marrow fibrosis. The replacement of the marrow by fibrous tissue reduces bone marrow hematopoiesis, leading to marrow failure (cytopenias) and extensive extramedullary hematopoiesis. Histologically, the appearance is identical to the spent phase that occurs occasionally late in the course of other myeloproliferative disorders

Activating JAK2 mutations are present in 50% to 60% of cases and activating MPL mutations in an additional 1% to 5% of cases The chief pathologic feature is the extensive deposition of collagen in the marrow by non-neoplastic fibroblasts. It is probably caused by the inappropriate release of fibrogenic factors from neoplastic megakaryocytes (platelet-derived growth factor and TGF-β).

MORPHOLOGY: Early in the course, the marrow is often hypercellular megakaryocytes are large, dysplastic, and abnormally clustered. With progression, the marrow becomes more hypocellular and diffusely fibrotic.

The marrow fibrosis is reflected in several characteristic blood findings: Marrow distortion leads to the premature release of nucleated erythroid and early granulocyte progenitors (leukoerythroblastosis) Teardrop-shaped red cells (dacryocytes), cells that were probably damaged during the birthing process in the fibrotic marrow, are also often seen.

Clinical Features: - Primary myelofibrosis is less common than PCV and ET and usually occurs in individuals older than 60 years of age. - anemia and splenomegaly fatigue, weight loss, and night sweats result from an increase in metabolism associated with the expanding mass of hematopoietic cells. Hyperuricemia and secondary gout due to a high rate of cell turnover can complicate the picture.

Primary myelofibrosis is a much more difficult disease to treat than PCV or ET. The course is variable, but the median survival is in the range of 3 to 5 years Transformation to AML, which occurs in 5% to 20% of cases.

JAK2 inhibitors have recently been approved to treat this disease Hematopoietic stem cell transplantation offers some hope for cure in young
