Idiopathic hypereosinophilic syndrome (HES) is a rare disease characterized by tissue involvement and organ dysfunction due to abnormal eosinophil proliferation. Evolution of HES into myeloid or T-cell malignancies has been frequently reported. Here, we describe a case of HES that preceded the occurrence of a high-grade B-lymphoblastic lymphoma in which clonal evolution has been demonstrated at the molecular level.
特发性嗜酸性粒细胞增多综合征(HES)是一种罕见疾病,其特征为嗜酸性粒细胞异常增殖导致组织受累和器官功能障碍。HES演变为髓系或T细胞恶性肿瘤的情况屡有报道。在此,我们描述了一例在高级别B淋巴细胞母细胞淋巴瘤发生之前出现的HES病例,该病例在分子水平上已证实存在克隆进化。
