Diagnosis
Diagnostic Study of Choice
The diagnosis of CNL is based on the WHO criteria, which include:[1]
| World Health Organization (WHO) Criteria for CNL Diagnosis | |
|---|---|
| 1. Peripheral blood White blood cells(WBC) ≥25 × 109/L: |
|
| 2. Hypercellular bone marrow: |
|
| 3. Not meeting WHO criteria for: |
|
| 4.No rearrangement of: |
|
| 5.Presence of CSF3RT618I or other activating CSF3R mutation or
In the absence of a CSFR3R mutation, persistent neutrophilia (at least 3 months), splenomegaly, and no identifiable cause of reactive neutrophilia including the absence of a plasma cell neoplasm or, if present, demonstration of clonality of myeloid cells by cytogenetic or molecular studies. | |
History and Symptoms
The majority of patients with CNL are asymptomatic.
Common symptoms of CNL patients include following:[2][3]
- Fatigue (as a most common symptom)
- Weight loss
- Night sweats
- Bone pain
- Easy bruising
- Pruritus
- Gout
Physical Examination
Physical examinations of patients with CNL include:[4]
- Splenomegaly
- Hepatomegaly
- Lymphadenopathy(uncommon)
Laboratory Findings
A chronic elevated concentration of blood mature neutrophils is diagnostic for CNL.[4]
Some patients with CNL may have:[3][4][5]
- Mild anemia
- Thrombocytopenia
- Elevation of lactate dehydrogenase (LDH)
- Elevation of vitamin B12
Other Diagnostic Studies
Bone marrow morphology
Bone marrow morphology in CNL patient may show:[6][7]
- Hypercellularity with myeloid hyperplasia
- Increasing myeloid to erythroid ratio
- Increasing of myelocytes, metamyelocytes, and bands
- Absence of basophilia and eosinophilia
- Megakaryocytic hyperplasia
[Diagnostic study] may be helpful in the diagnosis of [disease name]. Findings suggestive of/diagnostic of [disease name] include [finding 1], [finding 2], and [finding 3].
OR
Other diagnostic studies for [disease name] include [diagnostic study 1], which demonstrates [finding 1], [finding 2], and [finding 3], and [diagnostic study 2], which demonstrates [finding 1], [finding 2], and [finding 3].
Treatment
Medical Therapy
There is no established treatment for patients with CNL. However, following options may be useful in treatment of patients with CNL:[4][8][9]
- Hematopoitic stem cell transplant (HSCT)
- Hydroxyurea
- Interferon
- Hypomethylating agents
- Ruxolitinib
- Thalidomide
- Cladribine
- Imatinib
- Splenic irradiation and splenectomy
