We present a young patient with a rare eosinophilic myeloproliferative neoplasm MPN-eo with a balanced rearrangement of MPRIP-PDGFRB t(5;17)(q32;p11). This fusion gene was reported in only one other case in 2015. A personalized molecular test was developed with the diagnostic material of the patient. Our patient is in complete cytogenetic and molecular remission under low dose imatinib, two years after treatment initiation.

Early treatment of polycythemia vera with ultra-low-dose interferon-α 2a is well tolerated and results in complete hematologic and major molecular remission and a strong reduction of all symptoms, especially pruritus and fatigue.

Introduction. Primary myelofibrosis (PMF) is a clonal myeloproliferative neoplasm that occurs most commonly in the decade six of life and it is very rare in the young persons. Case report. We reported a 28-year-old female patient with primary myelofibrosis who had a normal pregnancy and delivery in the week 40 of pregnancy without any complications. Two years before the diagnosis of PMF she had normal pregnancy. The patient was treated with interferon-alpha and low dose aspirin during the whole pregnancy and with low-molecular-weight heparin a week before delivery and 6 weeks after. The patient had no complications during pregnancy. She delivered in term with healthy, normal baby weight. Conclusion. Decision about treatment strategy of pregnancy associated hematologic malignancies should be made for each patient individually.
