Background Blastic plasmacytoid dendritic cell neoplasm (BPDCN) are a very rare group of
diseases included by WHO 2016 classification among the myeloid neoplasms and usually
display an aggressive course with dismal outcome. BPDCN are characterized by a recurrent
phenotype (CD45low/CD34-/CD56+/CD4+/CD123+), in the absence of other lineage
differentiation markers. Our group recently reported that a subset of patients diagnosed with
AML with NPM1-mutation carrying co-expression of CD123, CD56 and CD4, a “BPDCN-like” …
