Molecular diagnostics have an increasing impact on diagnosis, risk stratification and targeted treatment in haemato-oncology. In the framework of a pilot study for the implementation of next-generation sequencing in the Belgian healthcare system, the Commission of Personalised Medicine was founded to give professional and evidence-based advice on the molecular analysis in haemato-oncology. This paper describes its recommendations for NGS analysis in myeloid malignancies. In addition, the minimally required set of genes that must be analysed is defined and algorithms for molecular workflow in myeloid malignancies are proposed.

Although a myeloid sarcoma is a rare form of extramedullary leukaemia, its early diagnosis has been proven to be of utmost importance. Its presence is strongly related to the onset or the presence of systemic bone marrow leukaemia. However, the diagnosis of myeloid sarcoma is not straightforward. In the existing literature, approximately half of the cases of myeloid sarcoma were initially misdiagnosed as lymphoma. The current case reports details on the laboratory diagnosis of myeloid sarcoma in a 25-year old male. The laboratory presentation of myeloid sarcoma and the consecutive steps in order to correctly diagnose myeloid sarcoma using a variety of laboratory techniques including microscopy, flow cytometry and cytogenetics are highlighted.
