Abstract

The development of clonally related hematologic neoplasms in the setting of primary mediastinal germ cell tumors (PMGCTs) has been recognized previously and is associated with a dismal prognosis. However, the presentation of hematologic neoplasms as chronic myelomonocytic leukemia (CMML) and hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis (HLH) has been rarely reported. Here we report two patients with PMGCTs and hematologic neoplasms. The PMGCT was composed mostly of yolk sac tumor whereas the hematologic neoplasms had morphologic features that resembled CMML and HLH. The hematologic neoplasms from both patients harbored isochromosome 12p [i(12p)] and TP53 mutations, supporting a clonal relationship between these tumors. This association represents a unique clinical syndrome that likely contributes to the poor clinical outcome of these patients.
