Leukemic manifestation of blastic plasmacytoid dendritic cell neoplasm: laboratory approaches in 2 cases
نویسندگان
چکیده
Fig. 1. Bone marrow (BM) aspiration and biopsy findings in the first case. BM aspiration showed the presence of neoplastic cells (27.8%) with oval to round nuclei, prominent nucleoli, and abundant amount of bluish cytoplasm (A, Wright staining, ×1,000). The BM clot section also showed interstitial infiltration of neoplastic cells (B, hematoxylin and eosin staining, ×400) positive for CD4, CD56, and CD123 on immunohistochemical staining.

Blastic Plasmacytoid Dendritic Cell Neoplasm; A Report of Three Cases
Blastic plasmacytoid dendritic cell neoplasm (BPDCN) is a rare hematodermic myeloid malignancy that is known to be derived from plasmacytoid dendritic cells which are characterized by expression of CD4, CD56, and more specific markers such as CD123. Here, the authors present three cases of BPDCN diagnosed in the past two years and address different available diagnostic modalities such as morpho...

Blastic plasmacytoid dendritic cell neoplasm (BPDCN) is a rare malignant tumor of the hemopoietic system that arises from plasmacytoid dendritic cell precursors with a highly aggressive course. BPDCN frequently involves the skin, lymph nodes, peripheral blood and bone marrow. BPDCN is known to develop leukemic dissemination as a feature of myelomonocytic leukemia in the late phase of the diseas...
متن کاملBortezomib as a new therapeutic approach for blastic plasmacytoid dendritic cell neoplasm
Blastic plasmacytoid dendritic cell neoplasm is an aggressive hematologic malignancy with a poor prognosis. No consensus regarding optimal treatment modalities is currently available. Targeting the nuclear factor-kappa B pathway is considered a promising approach since blastic plasmacytoid dendritic cell neoplasm has been reported to exhibit constitutive activation of this pathway. Moreover, nu...
متن کاملBlastic Plasmacytoid Dendritic Cell Neoplasm
Introduction Blastic plasmacytoid dendritic cell neoplasm (BPDCN) is a rare, highly aggressive hematopoietic malignancy. It manifests as cutaneous and bone marrow involvement and leukemic spread. It represents 0.7% of primary cutaneous lymphomas. Recently, it was established as a distinct entity. We present a rare case of BPDCN with good response to chemotherapy and review the clinicopathologic...

Blastic plasmacytoid dendritic cell neoplasm (BPDCN) is a rare hematological malignancy with a clinically aggressive phenotype arising from CD4/CD56-expressing plasmacytoid dendritic cell precursors [1]. BPDCN was categorized under “AML and related precursor neoplasms” by the 2008 WHO classification, with most cases having been previously classified as blastic natural killer (NK)-cell lymphoma/...
