Patient
PZ-DIAG-MPN-MDS-001 · suspicion lineage: myeloid_neoplasm
Tissues: bone_marrow, peripheral_blood, spleen · Hypotheses: DIS-MDS-LR, DIS-MDS-HR, DIS-CMML
71F retired teacher referred for evaluation of progressive pancytopenia × 4 months (per serial CBCs at PCP). Hgb declined 13.2 → 9.4 over 4 months (now transfusion-naïve), MCV 108 (macrocytic), platelets 92, ANC 1.1. No B-vitamin / folate deficiency (B12 normal, folate normal). Erythropoietin level 380 mU/mL (elevated, suggesting non-renal cause). Reticulocyte index 0.4 (inappropriately low for anemia). Peripheral smear: 5% dysplastic_neutrophils with hypogranulation, occasional Pelger-Huet anomaly, no circulating blasts. Splenomegaly 14 cm on US (mild). No B-symptoms, no LAD. JAK2-V617F negative on send-out (preliminary). Suspicion: MDS (lower-risk) vs MPN-overlap (CMML if monocyte criteria met).
