We report an unusual case of a symptomatic patient who initially had high hemoglobin and low serum erythropoietin levels, fitting a clinical diagnosis of polycythemia vera. However, after treatment with hydroxyurea and serial phlebotomies had been started, the patient developed hypereosinophilia, fitting the category of a myeloproliferative neoplasm with eosinophilia associated with the FIP1L1-PDGFRA gene fusion, as confirmed by molecular analysis. We discuss the clinical presentation, evolution, response to treatment, and pathogenetic implications of this case.
我们报告了一例不寻常的病例,该有症状患者最初血红蛋白水平高而血清促红细胞生成素水平低,符合真性红细胞增多症的临床诊断。然而,在开始使用羟基脲治疗并进行系列放血治疗后,患者出现了嗜酸性粒细胞增多症,符合伴有FIP1L1-PDGFRA基因融合的嗜酸性粒细胞增多性骨髓增殖性肿瘤的类别,分子分析证实了这一点。我们讨论了该病例的临床表现、病情演变、对治疗的反应以及发病机制。
