ABSTRACT

Myelodysplastic/Myeloproliferative Neoplasms, Unclassifiable M yelodysplastic/m yeloproliferative neoplasm s, unclassifiable (MDS/

MPN, U) are disorders in which there is at least one myeloid cell line demon­ strating ineffective hematopoiesis and at least one myeloid cell line with effective hyperproliferation, that does not fit the criteria for any of the previously described MDS/MPNs. The morphology and clinical features vary depending on which cell lines are involved and in what way. The W H O diagnostic criteria for MDS/ MPN, U are given in Table 5.6. The prognosis is variable.
