摘　　要：BACKGROUNDChronic neutrophilic leukemia (CNL) is a rare bone marrow proliferative tumorand a heterogeneous disorder. In 2016, the World Health Organization includedactivating mutations in the CSF3R gene as one of the diagnostic criteria, withCSF3R T618I being the most common mutation. The disease is often accompaniedby splenomegaly, but no developmental abnormalities and significant reticularfibrosis, and no Ph chromosome and BCR-ABL fusion gene. So, it is difficult todiagnose at the first presentation in the absence of classical symptoms. Herein wedescribe a rare CNL patient without splenomegaly whose initial diagnostic cluewas neutrophilic hyperactivity.CASE SUMMARYThe patient is an 80-year-old Han Chinese man who presented with one month offatigue and fatigue aggravation in the last half of the month. He had nosplenomegaly, but had persistent hypofibrinogenemia, obvious skin bleeding, andhemoptysis, and required repeated infusion of fibrinogen therapy. After manyrelevant laboratory examinations, histopathological examination, and sequencinganalysis, the patient was finally diagnosed with CNL [CSF3R T618I positive:c.1853C>T (p.T618I) and c.2514T>A (p.C838)].CONCLUSIONThe physical examination and blood test for tumor-related genes are insufficientto establish a diagnosis of CNL. Splenomegaly is not that important, buthyperplasia of interstitial neutrophil system and activating mutations in CSF3Rare important clues to CNL diagnosis.
