Abstract
Myeloid neoplasms may metastasize to the skin, presenting a wide range of clinical-pathological features that often lead to a reduction in patients' survival. The presentation varies depending on the category of myeloid neoplasm and its prognostic significance. The literature has specifically focused on the features of acute myeloid leukemia (AML), myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS), and chronic myelomonocytic leukemia (CMML). In this article, we aimed to uncover the peculiarities of clonal skin proliferations in the course of Ph-negative myeloproliferative neoplasms (MPNs). We conducted a systematic review and statistical analysis of the literature data. MPN patients mainly exhibited cutaneous extramedullary hematopoiesis, while a minority displayed cutaneous histiocytic lesions. Furthermore, these patients showed lower survival rates compared to the median survival of MPN patients, especially when calculating survival from the appearance of cutaneous lesions. Our work highlights, for the first time, the prognostic relevance and histological heterogeneity of cutaneous lesions in MPN. Moreover, it emphasizes the importance of dermatological and histological examinations when cutaneous lesions are present.

Abstract
Disease progression in myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS), myelodysplastic-myeloproliferative neoplasms (MDS/MPN), and myeloproliferative neoplasms (MPN), altogether referred to as myeloid neoplasms (MN), is a major source of mortality. Apart from transformation to acute myeloid leukemia, the clinical progression of MN is mostly due to the overgrowth of pre-existing hematopoiesis by the MN without an additional transforming event. Still, MN may evolve along other recurrent yet less well-known scenarios: (1) acquisition of MPN features in MDS or (2) MDS features in MPN, (3) progressive myelofibrosis (MF), (4) acquisition of chronic myelomonocytic leukemia (CMML)-like characteristics in MPN or MDS, (5) development of myeloid sarcoma (MS), (6) lymphoblastic (LB) transformation, (7) histiocytic/dendritic outgrowths. These MN-transformation types exhibit a propensity for extramedullary sites (e.g., skin, lymph nodes, liver), highlighting the importance of lesional biopsies in diagnosis. Gain of distinct mutations/mutational patterns seems to be causative or at least accompanying several of the above-mentioned scenarios. MDS developing MPN features often acquire MPN driver mutations (usually JAK2), and MF. Conversely, MPN gaining MDS features develop, e.g., ASXL1, IDH1/2, SF3B1, and/or SRSF2 mutations. Mutations of RAS-genes are often detected in CMML-like MPN progression. MS ex MN is characterized by complex karyotypes, FLT3 and/or NPM1 mutations, and often monoblastic phenotype. MN with LB transformation is associated with secondary genetic events linked to lineage reprogramming leading to the deregulation of ETV6, IKZF1, PAX5, PU.1, and RUNX1. Finally, the acquisition of MAPK-pathway gene mutations may shape MN toward histiocytic differentiation. Awareness of all these less well-known MN-progression types is important to guide optimal individual patient management.

Abstract
Langerhans cell histiocytosis (LCH) and acute myeloid leukemia (AML) are distinct entities of blood neoplasms, and the exact developmental origin of both neoplasms are considered be heterogenous among patients. However, reports of concurrent LCH and AML are rare. Herein we report a novel case of concurrent LCH and AML which shared same the driver mutations, strongly suggesting a common clonal origin.An 84-year-old female presented with cervical lymphadenopathy and pruritic skin rash on the face and scalp. Laboratory tests revealed pancytopenia with 13% of blasts, elevated LDH and liver enzymes, in addition to generalised lymphadenopathy and splenomegaly by computed tomography. Bone marrow specimens showed massive infiltration of MPO-positive myeloblasts, whereas S-100 and CD1a positive atypical dendritic cell-like cells accounted for 10% of the atypical cells on bone marrow pathology, suggesting a mixture of LCH and AML. A biopsy specimen from a cervical lymph node and the skin demonstrated the accumulation of atypical cells which were positive for S-100 and CD1a. LCH was found in lymph nodes, skin and bone marrow; AML was found in peripheral blood and bone marrow (AML was predominant compared with LCH in the bone marrow).Next generation sequencing revealed four somatic driver mutations (NRAS-G13D, IDH2-R140Q, and DNMT3A-F640fs/-I715fs), equally shared by both the lymph node and bone marrow, suggesting a common clonal origin for the concurrent LCH and AML. Prednisolone and vinblastine were initially given with partial response in LCH; peripheral blood blasts also disappeared for 3 months. Salvage chemotherapy with low dose cytarabine and aclarubicin were given for relapse, with partial response in both LCH and AML. She died from pneumonia and septicemia on day 384. Our case demonstrates a common cell of origin for LCH and AML with a common genetic mutation, providing evidence to support the proposal to classify histiocytosis, including LCH, as a myeloid/myeloproliferative malignancy.

Coexisting BRAF-Mutated Langerhans Cell Histiocytosis and Primary Myelofibrosis with Shared JAK2 Mutation. Case Rep Hematol 2021; 2021:6623706.

Abstract
Langerhans cell histiocytosis (LCH) is an infrequent disease, characterized by oligoclonal proliferation of immature myeloid-derived cells. However, the exact pathogenesis remains unknown. In rare cases, LCH is present in patients with concomitant myeloid proliferative neoplasms. Here, we describe a 69-year-old male, who presented with a maculopapular rash covering truncus, face, and scalp. A cutaneous ulcerating lesion on the right cheek led to a biopsy showing LCH. Lesional cells were BRAF V600E and JAK2 V617F mutated. A bone marrow aspirate showed no infiltration of Langerhans cells, but alterations consistent with primary myelofibrosis (PMF) and a polymerase chain reaction test were positive for JAK2 V617F. Our case highlights an uncommon condition of two hematological malignancies present in the same patient. The identification of the BRAF V600E mutation supports previous findings of this mutation in LCH. Interestingly, a JAK2 V617F mutation was found in both LCH and PMF cells, indicating a possible clonal relationship between the two malignancies.

Abstract
Histiocytic disorders are a spectrum of rare diseases characterised by the accumulation of macrophage-, dendritic cell-, or monocyte-differentiated cells in various tissues and organs. The discovery of recurrent genetic alterations in many of these histiocytoses has led to their recognition as clonal neoplastic diseases. Moreover, the identification of the same somatic mutation in histiocytic lesions and peripheral blood and/or bone marrow cells from histiocytosis patients has provided evidence for systemic histiocytic neoplasms to originate from haematopoietic stem/progenitor cells (HSPCs). Here, we investigated associations between histiocytic disorders and additional haematological malignancies bearing the same genetic alteration(s) using the nationwide Dutch Pathology Registry. By searching on pathologist-assigned diagnostic terms for the various histiocytic disorders, we identified 4602 patients with a putative histopathological diagnosis of a histiocytic disorder between 1971 and 2019. Histiocytosis-affected tissue samples of 187 patients had been analysed for genetic alterations as part of routine molecular diagnostics, including from nine patients with an additional haematological malignancy. Among these patients, we discovered three cases with different histiocytic neoplasms and additional haematological malignancies bearing identical oncogenic mutations, including one patient with concomitant KRAS p.A59E mutated histiocytic sarcoma and chronic myelomonocytic leukaemia (CMML), one patient with synchronous NRAS p.G12V mutated indeterminate cell histiocytosis and CMML, and one patient with subsequent NRAS p.Q61R mutated Erdheim-Chester disease and acute myeloid leukaemia. These cases support the existence of a common haematopoietic cell-of-origin in at least a proportion of patients with a histiocytic neoplasm and additional haematological malignancy. In addition, they suggest that driver mutations in particular genes (e.g. N/KRAS) may specifically predispose to the development of an additional clonally related haematological malignancy or secondary histiocytic neoplasm. Finally, the putative existence of derailed multipotent HSPCs in these patients emphasises the importance of adequate (bone marrow) staging, molecular analysis and long-term follow-up of all histiocytosis patients.

Abstract
Mixed histiocytoses are a rare and recently recognized subset of histiocytic disorders that may involve the skin, characterized by the synchronous or metachronous development of lesions with Langerhans and/or non-Langerhans cell histiocytosis histopathological features. Around 10% of patients diagnosed with histiocytosis may develop a hematological malignancy, often with dramatic prognostic consequences. We hereby describe the exceptional case of a patient developing a MAP2K1-driven mixed histiocytosis with Langerhans cell histiocytosis, Rosai-Dorfman-Destombes disease, and Erdheim-Chester disease features and cutaneous involvement, progressing to a fatal and clonally-related acute myeloid leukemia. We reviewed the literature on similar cases and discussed the histopathological difficulties in their diagnosis and their clinical-pathological features.

Abstract
As an important source of drugs, natural products play an important role in the discovery and development of new drugs. More than 60% of anti-tumor drugs are closely related to natural products. At the same time, as the main cause of tumors, the abnormal activity of tyrosine kinase has become an important target for clinical treatment. Although, small molecule targeted drugs dominate the cancer treatment. Natural active products are driving the development of new tyrosine kinase inhibitors with their unique mode of action and molecular structure diversity. Obtaining new chemical entities with tyrosine kinase inhibitory activity from natural active products will bring new breakthroughs in the research of anticancer drugs. In this paper, different tyrosine kinases are mainly classified as targets, and natural products and derivatives which have been found to inhibit tyrosine kinase activity have been described. It is hoped that by analyzing the different aspects of the source, structural characteristics, mechanism of action and biological activity of these natural products, we will find new members that can be developed into drugs and promote the development of anti-tumor drugs.
