Overview

The myeloproliferative neoplasm are a group of diseases of the bone marrow in which excess cells are produced. Myeloproliferative neoplasm may be classified according to the World Health Organization into eight subtypes (chronic myelogenous leukemia, BCR-ABL1–positive, chronic neutrophilic leukemia, polycythemia vera, primary myelofibrosis, essential thrombocythemia, chronic eosinophilic leukemia, not otherwise specified, mastocytosis, myeloproliferative neoplasms, unclassifiable).[1][2] They are related to, and may evolve into, myelodysplastic syndrome and acute myeloid leukemia, although the myeloproliferative diseases on the whole have a much better prognosis than these conditions. Clinical and pathologic features in the myeloproliferative neoplasms are due to dysregulated proliferation and expansion of myeloid progenitors in the bone marrow, resulting in altered populations of granulocytes, erythrocytes, or platelets in the peripheral blood. Myeloproliferative neoplasm is caused by a mutation in the BCR-ABL, Janus kinase 2, and calreticulin genes.[3][4] Patients may be asymptomatic at diagnosis. However, if symptoms present, symptoms of myeloproliferative neoplasm include fever, fatigue, and bleeding.[5][6] The mainstay of therapy for myeloproliferative neoplasm is chemotherapy, aspirin, and palliative care.[7]

Historical Perspective

The first description of myeloproliferative neoplasm dates back to the late 19th century, when Sir Louis Vasquez studied a patient with excess red blood cells. Myeloproliferative neoplasm was first brought to attention as an important clinical entity by Dr. William Dameshek, an American hematologist, in 1951. In 2005, the link between the JAK2 mutation and polycythemia vera was discovered. The World Health Organization created diagnostic criteria for myeloproliferative neoplasms in 2008, and this was revised in 2016.

Classification

Myeloproliferative neoplasm may be classified according to the World Health Organization into eight subtypes: polycythemia vera, essential thrombocythemia, primary myelofibrosis, chronic myelogenous leukemia, chronic neutrophilic leukemia, chronic eosinophilic leukemia, myeloproliferative neoplasms unclassifiable, and mastocytosis. Each subtypes is based on a distinct malignant cell, and each subtype has different criteria for diagnosis.

Pathophysiology

Clinical and pathologic features in the myeloproliferative neoplasms are due to dysregulated proliferation and expansion of myeloid progenitors in the bone marrow, resulting in altered populations of granulocytes, erythrocytes, or platelets in the peripheral blood.

Causes

Myeloproliferative neoplasm is caused by a mutation in the BCR-ABL, Janus kinase 2, and calreticulin genes.[3][4][3]

Differentiating Myeloproliferative Neoplasm from other Diseases

Myeloproliferative neoplasm must be differentiated from acute lymphoblastic leukemia, acute myelogenous leukemia, chronic myelogenous leukemia, essential thrombocytosis, hypereosinophilic syndrome, non-Hodgkin lymphoma, primary myelofibrosis, secondary thrombocytosis, splenomegaly, systemic mastocytosis, and waldenstrom macroglobulinemia.

Epidemiology and Demographics

The incidence of myeloproliferative neoplasm is approximately 7.8 per 100,000 individuals worldwide.[8]

Risk factors

There are no established risk factors for myeloproliferative neoplasm.

Screening

Screening for myeloproliferative neoplasm by quantitative cell-based JAK2V617F mutation assays may be helpful among patients with erythrocytosis, thrombocytosis, splanchnic vein thrombosis, and unexplained BCR-ABL negative granulocytosis.[9]

Natural History, Complications and Prognosis

If left untreated, patients with myeloproliferative neoplasm may progress to develop weight loss, fever, and night sweats. Common complications of myeloproliferative neoplasm include splenomegaly, bleeding, and thrombosis. Prognosis is generally good with treatment, and the 3-year survival rate of patients with myeloproliferative neoplasm is approximately 35%.[10][5]

Diagnosis

History and Symptoms

Patients may be asymptomatic at diagnosis. However, if symptoms present, symptoms of myeloproliferative neoplasm include fever, fatigue, and bleeding.[5][6]

Physical Examination

Patients with myeloproliferative neoplasm are usually well-appearing. Physical examination of patients with chronic myelogenous leukemia is usually remarkable for skin bruising , fever, splenomegaly, and lymphadenopathy.[5]

Laboratory Findings

Laboratory findings consistent with the diagnosis of myeloproliferative neoplasm include leukocytosis, thrombocytopenia, and anemia.[6][11][12][13]

Chest X-Ray

Chest x-ray may be helpful in the diagnosis of myeloproliferative neoplasm. Findings on chest x-ray suggestive of chronic myelogenous leukemia include enlarged mediastinal lymph nodes, enlarged thymus gland, and pneumonia.[6]

Abdominal CT

Abdominal and chest CT scan may be helpful in the diagnosis of myeloproliferative neoplasm. Findings on CT scan suggestive of myeloproliferative neoplasm include enlarged lymph nodes, splenomegaly, and splanchnic venous thrombosis.[6]

Brain MRI

Brain MRI may be helpful in the detection of brain metastasis in patients with myeloproliferative neoplasm.[6]

Abdominal Ultrasound

Abdominal ultrasound may be helpful in the diagnosis of myeloproliferative neoplasm. Findings on abdominal ultrasound suggestive of myeloproliferative neoplasm include enlarged lymph nodes, splenomegaly, and hypodense liver lesions.[6]

Other Diagnostic Studies

Other diagnostic studies for myeloproliferative neoplasm include bone marrow aspiration and trephine biopsy, lumbar puncture, and lymph node biopsy.[6][14]

Other Imaging Studies

Other imaging studies for myeloproliferative neoplasm include PET scan, which helps to detect metastasis in bone marrow and to follow up medical treatment.[15]

Treatment

Medical Therapy

The mainstay of therapy for myeloproliferative neoplasm is chemotherapy, aspirin, and palliative care.[7]

Surgery

Surgical intervention is recommended for the management of chronic myelogenous leukemia in case of splenectomy.[16]

Primary Prevention

There is no established method for prevention of myeloproliferative neoplasm.[7]

Secondary Prevention

There is no established method for prevention of myeloproliferative neoplasm.[7]
