BCR and myeloproliferative disorder: Hematopoietic myeloproliferative neoplasms with FGFR1 rearrangement result in the 8p11 myeloproliferative syndrome that in the current Word Health Organization classification is designated as "myeloid and lymphoid neoplasm with FGFR1 abnormalities." We report the case of a 66-year-old man who had clinical features that resembled chronic myeloid leukaemia (CML), but bone marrow cytogenetic and fluorescent in situ hybridization (FISH) studies showed t(8;22)(p11;q11) and BCR-FGFR1 fusion gene.
