Abstract

We report a 49-year-old man suffering from chronic hypereosinophilia whose biological tests revealed a gene rearrangement between FIP1L1 and PDGFRA as well as a T-cell clonality. After 1 year of therapy with imatinib mesylate (100 mg daily), the patient was clinically asymptomatic, the fusion transcript was undetectable using RTQ-PCR and no lymphoproliferative disorders occurred. This unique combination raises the question of the physiopathology of such a grey zone hypereosinophilia and their management.
