Prognostication of acute myeloid leukemia (AML) at initial diagnosis relies on identification of pre-determined underlying genetic abnormalities. Nevertheless, the disease course of AML remains highly unpredictable and robust reliable prognostic biomarkers for newly diagnosed AML are lacking. We retrospectively explored two publicly available AML RNA-Seq datasets and found that inferior overall survival was associated with high-FLT3 and low-NPM1 transcript levels (“FLT3high/NPM1low”) compared to low-FLT3 and high-NPM1 transcript levels (“FLT3low/NPM1high”) in adult de novo AML patients, with a hazard ratio for death of at least 2. Transcript level-dependent differential overall survival was independent from the underlying FLT3 or NPM1 genotypes. Our two-gene RNA expression-based de novo AML risk stratification may supplement and fine-tune traditional genetic aberration-based prognostication methods.

Brentuximab vedotin (BV) has demonstrated efficacy against CD30+ peripheral T-cell lymphoma (PTCL). We herein report a case of CD30+ peripheral T-cell lymphoma, not otherwise specified (PTCL-NOS) that emerged one month after completing BV, cyclophosphamide, doxorubicin, and prednisone (BV-CHP) therapy for anaplastic large cell lymphoma (ALCL) and responded to retreatment with BV monotherapy. This case suggests that CD30+ PTCL emerging shortly after BV-CHP therapy may respond to retreatment with BV monotherapy, even if the phenotype differs from the initial diagnosis.

Multiple myeloma is a hematological malignancy that results from the proliferation of abnormal plasma cells, typically invading the bone marrow but occasionally involving other areas of the body. We present a rare case of a 58-year-old male patient who presented with right-sided thoracic wall mass, which was eventually diagnosed through imaging and biopsy as paraskeletal extramedullary plasmacytoma with concurrent multiple myeloma. The patient exhibited symptoms of chest pain and swelling, with radiological features of a large right-sided chest wall mass. The diagnosis shows the fact that radiological presentations are quite nonspecific, often mimicking other malignancies. Such cases, therefore, require further assistance from thoracic surgery and interventional radiology in addition to advanced imaging techniques such as FDG- PET. He was subsequently treated with a three-drug regimen (VTD-Zometa protocol) including velcade, thalidomide, and dexamethasone, considering radiation versus complete surgical exicion due to the size of the mass. This case also supports the idea that clinical diversity exists among multiple myeloma and that considering paraskeletal extramedullary plasmacytoma must be given due importance when dealing with differential diagnosis of chest wall tumors in old age, although extremely rare. Early diagnosis and exclusion of all other possible diagnoses are also critical for the best possible treatment planning and outcome.

Primary effusion lymphoma (PEL)-like lymphoma is a rare variant of PEL that exhibits diverse clinical behaviors, ranging from mild to aggressive disease courses. The clinicopathological features and effective treatments for this type of lymphoma have not been well defined. We found that proteasome inhibitors were effective in inhibiting the growth and survival of OGU1 cells, which were derived from a patient with aggressive PEL-like lymphoma, highlighting the critical role of proteasome activity in the proliferation of PEL-like lymphoma cells. This suggests that proteasome inhibitors, such as bortezomib, could be promising therapeutic options for patients who respond poorly to conventional chemotherapy.

Myeloid malignancies following treatment for plasma cell neoplasms (PCN) are infrequent but is a serious complication, often exhibiting complex karyotype and TP53 mutations. Plasma cell myeloma lineage switch to a myeloid malignancy with evident clonal relatedness is seldomly reported. Here, we report a unique case of acute myeloid leukemia with monocytic differentiation that shares clonal features with an antecedent plasma cell myeloma with t(4;14)(FGFR3::IGH). This phenomenon differs from therapy-related myeloid neoplasm arising from an unrelated clone and underscores the need to elucidate the role of mutations in pathways such as MAPK (e.g., BRAF and KRAS) into lineage plasticity.

Background
Atypical Chronic Myeloid Leukemia (aCML) is a rare and aggressive myelodysplastic syndrome/myeloproliferative neoplasm. This study aimed to provide a comprehensive understanding of the epidemiology, clinical characteristics, and survival outcomes of aCML patients.
Methods
The study utilized data from the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER) database from 2001 to 2020. The age-adjusted incidence rate (AIR) of aCML was calculated, and survival outcomes were analyzed using the Kaplan-Meier method and accelerated failure time (AFT) regression analysis.
Results
The AIR of aCML was found to be 0.024 per 100,000 person-years, with the highest rate observed in 2020. The incidence of aCML increased with age and was higher in males. The study cohort predominantly consisted of elderly White individuals, with an average age at diagnosis of 68.2 ± 15.3 years. The median overall survival (OS) and disease-specific survival (DSS) were 1.4 years and 1.7 years, respectively. Older age was independently associated with worse survival outcomes. Notably, treatment delay and chemotherapy did not significantly impact OS or DSS.
Conclusions
This study provides comprehensive insights into the epidemiology, clinical characteristics, and survival outcomes of aCML, highlighting its rarity, aggressive nature, and poor prognosis. Further research is needed to validate these findings and explore novel therapeutic strategies for improving outcomes in this challenging hematologic malignancy.

Abdominal multiple extramedullary plasmacytoma (EMP) is a rare disease. CD38-negative relapsed/refractory EMP after treatment with daratumumab has never been reported. In 2020, a patient with jaundice was diagnosed with plasmacytoma in another hospital, which progressed one year after receiving multiline therapy. In July 2021, he was admitted to our hospital and showed CD38-pogative plasmacytoma. The patient received 2 cycles of treatment including daratumumab, venetoclax and DCEP chemotherapy and achieved partial remission. However, he developed ascites and eventually died. Our case indicated that multiple EMP has much lower incidence and far worse prognosis than solitary EMP.

Multiple myeloma (MM) is a rare hematologic malignancy with a 5-year survival rate of 52 %. For transplant-eligible MM patients, high-dose chemotherapy followed by autologous stem cell transplant (ASCT) is recommended. Given the complexities of the ASCT procedure, understanding patient-specific factors and their impact on treatment decisions is essential.
Our study examines patient characteristics and patterns of health resource utilization associated with ASCT receipt in patients with MM.
This retrospective study used the Merative™ MarketScan® database from 2017 to 2019 to analyze working-aged adults (18–65 years) with MM. We categorized 643 ASCT recipients by demographic characteristics (age, sex, region, employment status, year of ASCT procedure) and clinical factors (Charlson Comorbidity Index score). We assessed health resource utilization, focusing on ASCT-related costs, including total payments and hospitalization duration. Descriptive statistics were calculated for all variables, with means, medians, standard deviations for continuous variables, and frequencies for categorical variables. Pearson correlation assessed the relationship between total payment and hospitalization duration.
Over 80 % of patients were over 50, highlighting the need for age-specific clinical strategies. Most patients had CCI scores of 2–4, indicating a moderate comorbidity burden. The mean hospitalization duration was 21.71 days, with average ASCT costs totaling $166,235.99. The correlation coefficient of 0.21 indicated that total payments also increase as the number of hospitalization days increases.
These findings highlight the need for tailored care approaches and resource allocation in ASCT, informing future research and clinical decision-making.

We describe the case of a female patient with May-Hegglin syndrome who developed peripheral T-cell lymphoma not otherwise specified. The patient presents with systemic lupus erythematous phenotype and myelofibrosis secondary to T-cell lymphoma. Peripheral T-cell lymphoma not otherwise specified, represents 25 % of all peripheral T-cell lymphoma. Its diagnosis remains challenging due to the polymorphous clinical presentation and pathological heterogeneity. Myelofibrosis associated with malignant lymphomas is rare and peripheral T-cell lymphoma is even rarer. To our knowledge, this is the first case to describe an association between May-Hegglin syndrome and a peripheral T-cell lymphoma.
