Myelodysplastic syndromes/neoplasms (MDS) are a heterogeneous class of hematopoietic stem cell neoplasms characterized by ineffective hematopoiesis leading to peripheral cytopenias. This group of diseases is typically diagnosed using a combination of clinical, morphologic, and genetic criteria. Many studies have described the value of multiparametric flow cytometry (MFC) in the diagnosis, classification, and prognostication of MDS. This review summarizes the approach to MDS diagnosis and immunophenotypic characterization using MFC and describes the current state while highlighting future opportunities and potential pitfalls.

Myelodysplastic syndromes (MDSs) are a group of hematologic neoplasms accompanied by dysplasia of bone marrow (BM) hematopoietic cells with cytopenia. Recently, digitalized pathology and pathomics using computerized feature analysis have been actively researched for classifying and predicting prognosis in various tumors of hematopoietic tissues. This study analyzed the pathomic features of hematopoietic cells in BM aspiration smears of patients with MDS according to each hematopoietic cell lineage and dysplasia.

Article Synopsis
- Chronic myelomonocytic leukemia (CMML) is a complex blood cell disorder that combines poorly functioning and overproducing blood cells, leading to various symptoms.
- The case study focuses on a 71-year-old man with severe CMML who experienced skin nodules that improved with treatment but later recurred, while avoiding progression to acute leukemia.
- The findings emphasize the importance of close monitoring and flexible treatment approaches for patients with CMML, especially those with skin involvement.
Background: Patients with secondary acute myeloid leukemia who previously received hypomethylating agents for prior myeloid neoplasms (HMA-sAML) face a dismal prognosis.
Methods: The authors analyze the characteristics, therapeutic approaches, and outcomes of patients with HMA-sAML from the Programa Español para el Tratamiento de Hemopatías Malignas (PETHEMA) registry.
Results: A total of 479 patients were included, mostly from prior myelodysplastic syndrome (84%).

Background/aim: Myelodysplastic syndromes (MDSs) are clonal bone marrow disorders characterized by ineffective hematopoiesis. They are classified based on morphology and genetic alterations, with SF3B1 variants linked to favorable prognosis and MECOM rearrangements associated with poor outcomes. The combined effects of these alterations remain unclear.
