Hematopoietic Neoplasms Accompanied by Eosinophilia

Neoplasms in which eosinophils are likely to be clonal cells
 Acute eosinophilic leukemia
 CEL
 Acute myeloid leukemia with inv(16) (FAB AML M4eo)
 Chronic myeloid leukemia
 Myeloid neoplasms with PDGFR abnormalities (WHO types)
 Hematopoietic neoplasms with FGFR1 abnormalities (WHO types)
 Smoldering systemic mastocytosis
 Aggressive systemic mastocytosis
 Mast cell leukemia
Neoplasms in which eosinophils may or may not be part of the malignant clone
 Other MPN with eosinophilia*
 MDS with eosinophilia
 Other MDS/MPN overlap syndromes with eosinophilia*
 Indolent systemic mastocytosis
Neoplasms in which eosinophils usually are not part of the malignant clone
 Hodgkin disease
 B-or T-cell non-Hodgkin lymphoma
 Acute lymphoblastic leukemia
 Chronic lymphocytic leukemia
 Langerhans cell histiocytosis

*Other MPN or MPN/MDS: neoplasms where no abnormalities in the PDGFR or FGFR1 genes are detectable.

CEL, chronic eosinophilic leukemia; PDGFR, platelet-derived growth factor receptor; FGFR, fibroblast growth factor receptor; MPN, myeloproliferative neoplasm (s); MDS, myelodysplastic syndrome(s).
