The rising prevalence of obesity-related illnesses, such as metabolic steatotic liver disease (MASLD), represents a significant global public health concern. This disease affects approximately 30 % of the adult population and is the result of metabolic abnormalities rather than alcohol consumption. Additionally, MASLD is associated with an increased risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD), chronic liver disease, and a variety of cancers, particularly gastrointestinal cancers. Clonal hematopoiesis (CH) is a biological state characterized by the expansion of a population of blood cells derived from a single mutated hematopoietic stem cell. The presence of CH in the absence of a diagnosed blood disorder or cytopenia is known as clonal hematopoiesis of indeterminate potential (CHIP), which itself increases the risk of hematological malignancies and CVD. Steatotic liver disease may also complicate the clinical course of cancer patients receiving antineoplastic agents, a condition referred to as chemotherapy induced steatohepatitis (CASH). This review will present an outline of the various aspects of MASLD, including complications. Furthermore, it will summarize the existing knowledge on the emerging association between CHIP and MASLD and present the available data on patient cases with concurrent MASLD and hematological neoplasms. Finally, it will provide a brief overview of the chemotherapeutic drugs associated with CASH, the underlying pathophysiologic mechanisms and their clinical implications.

We report a series of patients with CSF3R-mutant (CSF3Rmut) atypical chronic myeloid leukemia (aCML), chronic neutrophilic leukemia (CNL) or other hematologic malignancies. We included 25 patients: 5 aCML and 4 CNL CSF3Rmut patients; 1 aCML, 2 CNL, and 2 myelodysplastic/myeloproliferative neoplasm, not otherwise specified patients without CSF3R mutation; and 11 CSF3Rmut patients with other diseases [8 acute myeloid leukemia (AML), 1 chronic myelomonocytic leukemia (CMML), 1 myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS), and 1 acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL)]. Patients with aCML or CNL were tested by Sanger sequencing and pyrosequencing to identify CSF3R T618I. Twenty-two patients underwent gene panel analysis. CSF3R mutations, mostly T618I (8/9), were found at high frequencies in both aCML and CNL patients [5/6 aCML and 4/6 CNL]. Two aCML patients in early adulthood with CSF3R T618I and biallelic or homozygous CEBPA mutations without other mutations presented with increased blasts and exhibited remission for >6 years after transplantation. The other 7 CSF3Rmut aCML or CNL patients were elderly adults who all had ASXL1 mutations and frequently presented with SEBP1 and SRSF2 mutations. Five AML patients had CSF3R exon 14 or 15 point mutations, and 6 other patients (3 AML, 1 CMML, 1 MDS, and 1 ALL) had truncating mutations, demonstrating differences in leukocyte counts and mutation status. In conclusion, CSF3R mutations were found at a higher frequency in aCML patients than in previous studies, which might reflect ethnic differences. Additional studies are needed to confirm these findings and the relationship between CSF3R and CEBPA mutations.

Chronic neutrophilic leukemia (CNL) is a clonal disorder that is characterized by increasing mature neutrophils. Colony stimulating factor 3 receptor (CSF3R) T618I mutation was frequently identified in patients with CNL and is defined as a molecular marker of the disease. Ruxolitinib, a JAK2 inhibitor, provided a promising therapeutic effect in a phase II study. In particular, ruxolitinib was more efficient for patients with CSF3R mutation. Allogeneic stem cell transplantation (Allo-SCT) may be a curative treatment for CNL. On the other hand, further studies are needed to define the optimal method of transplantation, source of donor, conditioning therapy, and timing of transplantation. Chronic eosinophilic leukemia (CEL) is a clonal disorder that is characterized by increasing eosinophils. In the World Health Organization Classification 5th edition, diagnostic criteria for CEL are renewed. Because the new criteria will be more specific for CEL than criteria in the older edition, \"not otherwise specified (NOS) \" is removed from the name of the disease. Anti-CD52 antibody, alemtuzumab, or anti-IL-5 antibody, mepolizumab, are promising drugs to control symptoms that are associated with hypereosinophilic syndrome. Allo-SCT is anticipated as a curative treatment for CEL, but the evidence of Allo-SCT for CEL is still limited. Further study is required to define the treatment strategy.

Chronic neutrophilic leukemia (CNL) is primarily diagnosed by excluding myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS). We report the case of a patient who developed secondary CNL 3 years after hypoplastic MDS. We used droplet digital polymerase chain reaction mutation detection assay to analyze genomic alterations during the progression from MDS to CNL. At the time of MDS diagnosis, U2AF1 Q157P and SETBP1 D868N were dominant and additional mutation of ASXL1 1934_insG was observed. CSF3R T618I and SETBP1 D868N were increasing at the time of CNL diagnosis. We revealed the accumulation of multiple gene mutations during CNL development from MDS. This suggests that CNL was clonally developed from the founding clone of MDS and CSF3R mutation contributes to the development of CNL in the present case. These findings provide insights into the pathology of CNL.

The pathogenesis of hematological tumors has not been fully elucidated. The academic community believes that genetic mutation abnormalities play a crucial role in the occurrence and development of hematological malignancies. Chronic neutrophilic leukemia (CNL) is a rare hematological tumor in the world. It is characterized by a Philadelphia chromosome BCR-ABL1-negative myeloproliferative tumor. It can be accompanied by mutations in various genes. Colony-stimulating factor 3 receptor (CSF3R) is a classic mutation in CNL and is included in the diagnostic criteria for CNL. This article described a 46-year-old male patient who came to the hospital with non-specific clinical manifestations such as unrelieved abdominal distension and edema of both lower extremities as the primary symptoms. The middle-aged male patient was provided with a peripheral a routine blood test. The biochemical tests revealed abnormalities. A bone marrow biopsy was performed to complete various tests such as bone marrow morphology, immunology, molecular biology, cytogenetics, and imaging. He was diagnosed with a rare chronic neutrophilic leukemia. After the diagnosis, the patient took ruxolitinib orally targeted therapy as prescribed by the doctor. Doctors regularly reviewed the peripheral blood examination and bone marrow status. The current condition is well controlled. CNL is extremely rare. The disease usually has non-specific clinical features and manifestations as the primary symptoms. These symptoms can easily be missed or lead to misdiagnosed ailments by clinicians. It is necessary to increase the awareness and vigilance of CNL.

UNASSIGNED: Chronic neutrophilic leukemia is a rare disease with a poor prognosis. Its diagnosis is challenging in the lack of genetic tools. It can infrequently be associated with autoimmune hemolytic anemia.
UNASSIGNED: Chronic neutrophilic leukemia is a rare disease with poor prognosis, characterized by a sustained mature neutrophilic leukocytosis in the absence of monocytosis or basophilia with few or no circulating immature granulocytes, hepatosplenomegaly, and granulocytic hyperplasia of the bone marrow. In addition, no molecular markers for other myeloproliferative neoplasms are detected. The 2016 WHO classification included the presence of the CSF3R mutation as a key diagnostic criterion for this disease. Although anemia may be present at diagnosis, hemolytic one rarely complicates myeloproliferative neoplasms. Treatment is largely based on cytoreductive agents, but bone marrow allograft remains the only curative option. We report the case of a patient with chronic neutrophilic leukemia associated with autoimmune hemolytic anemia. We describe the epidemiological, clinical, prognostic, and therapeutic features of this disease in addition to the difficulties of its diagnosis and management in Tunisia.

Myeloproliferative neoplasms (MPN) are a group of clonal hematopoietic stem cell disorders with uncontrolled proliferation of one or more hematopoietic cell types, including myeloid, erythroid and megakaryocytic lineages, and minimal defect in maturation. Most MPN are associated with well-defined molecular abnormalities involving genes that encode protein tyrosine kinases that lead to constitutive activation of the downstream signal transduction pathways and confer cells proliferative and survival advantage. Genome-wide sequencing analyses have discovered secondary cooperating mutations that are shared by most of the MPN subtypes as well as other myeloid neoplasms and play a major role in disease progression. Without appropriate management, the natural history of most MPN consists of an initial chronic phase and a terminal blast phase. Molecular aberrations involving protein tyrosine kinases have been used for the diagnosis, classification, detection of minimal/measurable residual disease, and target therapy. We review recent advances in molecular genetic aberrations in MPN with a focus on MPN associated with gene rearrangements or mutations involving tyrosine kinase pathways.

Chronic neutrophilic leukemia (CNL) is a rare but potentially aggressive BCR::ABL1 negative myeloproliferative neoplasm, characterized by sustained mature, neutrophilic leukocytosis. The discovery of key driver mutations in the colony-stimulating-factor-3 receptor (CSF3R) gene resulted in the updated World Health Organization (WHO) diagnostic criteria in 2016. A significant number of CNL cases have been associated with plasma cell dyscrasias, predominantly multiple myeloma (MM) and monoclonal gammopathy of unknown significance (MGUS). Compared to pure CNL, mutated CSF3R is infrequently reported in CNL cases associated with monoclonal gammopathies (MG). Until now it remains unclear whether CNL and occurring plasma cell neoplasms are clonally related or CNL is developing secondary to the underlying dyscrasia. Owing to its rarity, currently no standard of care management exists for CNL and MG-associated CNL. In this case series we report the multi-center experience of five MG-associated CNL cases with a median age of diagnosis of 69 years. Three patients (66%) showed predominance of lambda light chain expression. Four (80%) eventually evolved to MM, and one CNL-MGUS patient developed secondary acute myeloid leukemia (AML). Mutated CSF3R was present in the patient who developed AML but was absent in other cases. To assess possible associated genetic aberrations we performed recurrent analysis with next-generation sequencing (NGS). Two patients (40%) deceased with a median time of survival of 8 years after CNL diagnosis. Three (60%) are currently in follow-up with no reoccurring leukocytosis. This case series, followed by a short review, provides a long-term clinical and genetic overview of five CNL cases associated with MG.
