Previously, rearrangements of the Lysine Methyltransferase 2A (<i>KMT2A</i>) gene have been identified as driver mutations only in acute leukemias. <i>KMT2A</i> plays a role in epigenetic regulation, and cancers with such rearrangements are responsive to epigenetic therapy including hypomethylating agents. Here, we report two cases of CTCL with novel genetic profiles. <i>KMT2A</i> rearrangements were identified in two aggressive cases of mycosis fungoides with large cell transformation. A <i>KMT2A::DSCAML1</i> gene rearrangement was seen in Case 1, while a <i>KMT2A::MAPRE1</i> fusion was identified in Case 2. These cases demonstrate that <i>KMT2A</i> rearrangements can be found in primary CTCLs rather than solely acute leukemias, illustrating the importance of correlating molecular findings with clinical and histologic features in diagnosis. Additionally, this finding suggests that the subset of CTCLs driven by aberrancy of the <i>KMT2A</i> pathway may be responsive to therapy with hypomethylating agents or menin inhibitors, as seen in acute leukemias.</p>","PeriodicalId":51320,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Hematopathology","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.6,"publicationDate":"2023-11-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"138533218","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Following her surgery, she progressively exhibited neurologic decline towards the end of her treatment. The patient eventually succumbed to her illness and was found to have MEITL with intracranial involvement on autopsy. Brain autopsy was performed and examination of tissues with hematoxylin-eosin staining under optical microscopy with 100 X magnification. Immunostaining for CD3, CD4, CD5, CD7, CD8, CD56, CD20, beta-amyloid, c-Myc, TCR-beta, TCR-delta, and EBER-ish was conducted on the formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded (FFPE) brain tissues. A neuropathological exam revealed multifocal friable necrotic and hemorrhagic areas in the supratentorial region. Histologically, monotonous small to medium-sized atypical lymphocytes infiltrated the brain parenchyma, prominently around the vessels. The immunophenotype of the atypical lymphocytes was positive for CD-3, CD-7, and CD-56 and negative for CD-5, CD-4, CD-8, CD-20, and c-Myc. EBER-ish was negative.
