Acute Myeloid Leukemia with LRRFIP1::FGFR1 Rearrangement and a Complex Karyotype

We report a case of a 20-year-old man who presented with splenomegaly, hyperleukocytosis, anemia, and thrombocytopenia. A diagnosis of acute myeloid leukemia (AML) with LRRFIP1::FGFR1 rearrangement with complex karyotype was determined. Chromosome analysis showed a male karyotype: 46,XY,i(1)(q10),t(2;8)(q37;p11.2),der(5)t(1;5) (p22;q13)[17]46,XY[3]. Fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) analysis using the Cytocell FGFR1 break apart/amplification probe detected FGFR1 rearrangement with t(2:8) in 126/200 cells analyzed.
