She was admitted with persistent fever, dyspnea, severe fatigue, and bone pain, alongside splenomegaly and cytopenia. Diagnosis was confirmed through marrow aspirate analysis, chemical staining, flow cytometry, and biopsy, revealing atypical mast cells positive for CD117, CD9, CD81, CD33, CD13, CD4, and partially for CD56, but negative for CD2 and CD25. Next-generation sequencing identified heterozygous mutations in <em>NRAS, DNMT3A</em>, and <em>TP5</em>3, with no <em>KIT</em> mutations. Initial treatment included corticosteroids and dasatinib. The patient showed a partial response to dexamethasone but significant improvement with methylprednisolone. Upon reintroduction of dexamethasone, symptoms recurred, which improved again after resuming methylprednisolone. The patient survived for three months post-diagnosis.</div></div><div><h3>Conclusion</h3><div>This case highlights the potential efficacy of methylprednisolone over dexamethasone in MCL treatment. This case underscores the importance of personalized treatment approaches in MCL, considering the distinct genetic profile and differential therapeutic responses to corticosteroids.

Tyrosine kinase inhibitors such as imatinib has shown a great promise in reduction of CML cells. However, development of resistance to tyrosine kinase inhibitors has raised a great clinical concern about their future applications. Recently, non-coding RNAs, have shown to play significant regulatory roles in development of chemoresistance in CML cells. Discovering the underlying mechanisms of these non-coding RNAs might provide new opportunities for treating chemo-resistant forms of CML. These non-coding RNAs could be considered valuable therapeutic targets if they are found to play a role in the development of chemoresistance in CML cells.
