Abstract
NUT midline carcinoma (NMC) is an aggressive neoplasm and mainly involved in the head and neck area. The defining genetic hallmark on these tumors is that testis-specific nuclear gene (NUTM1) fuses to bromodomain protein family member 4 gene (BRD4), resulting in the formation of BRD4-NUTM1 transcript. Here, we report a case with myeloid neoplasm complicating with eosinophilia (MLN-Eo) and rearrangement of PDGFRA, which co-exists with a new nucleosome assemble protein 1–like 4 gene (NAP1L4) NAP1L4-NUTM1 fusion. The patient have unusually clinical features and therapeutic reaction to imatinib mesylate. The cloned NAP1L4-NUTM1 gene structure is also determined.
