Buzzwords → Dx

Buzzword Diagnosis / Clue
Persistent monocytosis ≥1 × 10⁹/L AND ≥10 % WBC Defining (NCCN/WHO 5e/ICC 2022 — note threshold harmonization across guidelines)
Splenomegaly + monocytosis CMML "MPN-like" phenotype
TET2 + SRSF2 co-mutation Highly suggestive of CMML even if monocyte threshold borderline
ASXL1 mutation Adverse — CPSS-Mol high-risk
NRAS / KRAS mutations MPN-CMML phenotype, leukocytosis
CBL mutation Splenomegaly, juvenile MPN-like
Cytopenia + dysplasia + monocytes MDS-CMML phenotype
Hypereosinophilic with FIP1L1::PDGFRA Imatinib-responsive — NOT CMML; rule out before treating
Marrow blasts <5 % vs 5–19 % CMML-1 vs CMML-2 (formerly 0/1/2 in WHO 4e)

分類與診斷

Diagnostic Criteria (WHO 5e / ICC 2022)

  • Persistent monocytosis ≥1 × 10⁹/L AND monocytes ≥10 % of WBC for ≥3 months.
  • Marrow blasts <20 % (≥20 % = AML).
  • One or more clonal cytogenetic/molecular abnormality OR ≥10 % dysplasia in ≥1 lineage.
  • Exclude: CML BCR::ABL1, atypical CML, juvenile MML (children), other myeloid neoplasms, FIP1L1::PDGFRA hyper-eosinophilic syndrome, reactive monocytosis (chronic infection, autoimmune).
  • CMML subtypes: CMML-1 (blasts <5 %), CMML-2 (blasts 5–19 % marrow or 5–19 % blood with promyelocytes/myelocytes counted as blasts).
  • Phenotype: "MPN-CMML" (WBC ≥13 × 10⁹/L) vs "MDS-CMML" (WBC <13 × 10⁹/L).

Workup

  • Persistent ≥3-mo monocytosis documented; rule out reactive causes (infection, autoimmune, splenectomy, malignancy).
  • Smear: monocytic series, dysplasia of granulocytic and erythroid lines.
  • BCR::ABL1 PCR/FISH to rule out CML.
  • JAK2/CALR/MPL to rule out MPN.
  • PDGFRA/PDGFRB/FGFR1 rearrangements if hyper-eosinophilic — these are imatinib-treatable (FIP1L1::PDGFRA).
  • Marrow: cytogenetics + NGS panel (TET2, SRSF2, ASXL1, NRAS, KRAS, CBL, RUNX1, JAK2, EZH2, etc.).
  • Spleen size by exam/imaging.
  • HLA typing if HCT candidate.

陷阱與考點

Pearls / Pitfalls

  • CMML is MDS/MPN overlap, NOT a subtype of MDS — IPSS-R/IPSS-M not validated for CMML; use CPSS-Mol instead.
  • TET2 + SRSF2 co-mutation is highly specific for CMML — even with monocyte percentages just below the 10 % threshold, this combination supports the diagnosis.
  • PDGFRA-rearranged hyper-eosinophilic syndrome (FIP1L1::PDGFRA fusion at 4q12) mimics CMML with eosinophilia but is imatinib-curative — do not miss; PDGFRB and FGFR1 are similar.
  • MPN-CMML phenotype (WBC >13 × 10⁹/L, splenomegaly, NRAS/KRAS) → hydroxyurea for cytoreduction, then HMA if symptomatic / progressive.
  • Allo-HCT is the only curative therapy — pursue early in fit, higher-risk pts; HMA bridges as needed.
  • HMA durability is short in CMML; CR rates ~10–20 %; OS gains modest. Don't promise prolonged remission with HMA monotherapy.
  • JMML (juvenile myelomonocytic leukemia, children) is a distinct entity (PTPN11, NRAS, KRAS, CBL, NF1) — pediatric, allo-HCT-driven.
  • CMML can transform to AML (~20–30 %); AML transformation predicted by CPSS-Mol high-risk + ≥2 cytogenetic abnormalities.
