Dear Editor, Chronic neutrophilic leukemia (CNL) is a myeloproliferative neoplasm characterized by the proliferation of mature neutrophils. It is diagnosed based on the presence of the CSF3R T618I mutation [1, 2]. Treatment for this disease has not been established, but the CSF3R T618I mutation may activate the JAK/STAT pathway. The efficacy of ruxolitinib, which inhibits JAK2, has been indicated. We report a patient in whom ruxolitinib was effective for secondary myelofibrosis following CNL with the CSF3R T618I mutation. The patient was a 66-year-old male. A health checkup showed leukocytosis, and he consulted our hospital. The peripheral blood leukocyte count on the initial consultation was 74,900/μL (neutrophils 96.8%, lymphocytes 1.4%, monocytes 0.8%, eosinophils 0.2%, metamyelocytes 0.6%, and myeloblasts 0.2%), showing a marked increase. Mature neutrophils comprised the greater portion. Concerning the bone marrow findings, neutrophil cells accounted for 83.7%, suggesting hyperplastic bone marrow with slight fibrosis. Abdominal computed tomography revealed splenomegaly (17× 15× 8.5 cm). DNA was extracted from peripheral blood using a QIAampDNA Blood Mini Kit (QIAGEN, Hilden, Germany), and the CSF3R-coding area was amplified with polymerase chain reaction (PCR). Subsequently, direct sequencing of PCR products was conducted using a 3500 genetic analyzer (Applied Biosystems, Tokyo, Japan) to identify the CSF3R T618I gene mutation. Thus, a diagnosis of CNL and secondary myelofibrosis was made according to the WHO diagnostic criteria in 2016 [2].After diagnosis, ruxolitinib at 10 mg/day was administered. Subsequently, the dose was gradually increased to 30 mg/day. Improvements in splenomegaly and hematological data were achieved in a few months after the administration. Melena was noted 5 months after starting the administration of ruxolitinib. The administration of ruxolitinib was discontinued for a few weeks, but, then, it was resumed at 20 mg. An increase in the leukocyte count and anemia/thrombocytopenia were noted 16 months after the start of ruxolitinib administration. Bacterial pneumonia occurred 17 months after the administration, leading to a fatal outcome (Fig. 1).
