Ours is the only reported case of FGFR1-rearranged neoplasms with a disease sequence of acute myeloid leukemia transforming to B-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia and 1 of only 3 reported cases with cytogenetically cryptic FGFR1 rearrangement. Fluorescence in situ hybridization testing for FGFR1 rearrangement should be a standard investigation in leukemia of mixed or switching lineage.
