High prevalence of myeloid neoplasms in adults with non–Langerhans cell histiocytosis

mutations). Histiocytosis patients diagnosed with a concomitant myeloid malignancy were significantly older at diagnosis and more commonly presented with MH than those without a myeloid malignancy. In some cases, the presence of distinct kinase mutations in the histiocytosis and myeloid neoplasm resulted in discordant and adverse responses to kinase-directed targeted therapies. These data highlight the clinical importance of evaluating adults with histiocytosis for a concomitant myeloid neoplasm.
