ABSTRACT
Myeloid sarcoma is a rare extramedullary haematopoietic malignancy. Interaction between CD47 and signal regulatory protein α (SIRPα) inhibits phagocytosis. CD47-positive tumours confer poor prognoses in various malignant tumours, including acute myeloid leukaemia. This study aimed to investigate the clinicopathological effects of CD47 and SIRPα expression in myeloid sarcoma. Immunohistochemistry (IHC) of CD47 and SIRPα was performed in 84 biopsy samples obtained from patients with myeloid sarcoma, some of which were CD47-positive. Patients were categorised into the following two groups based on IHC of SIRPα those with SIRPα-positive neoplastic cells (nSIRPα) and, SIRPα expression on non-neoplastic stromal cells in tumour microenvironment (miSIRPα). In addition, patients with CD47 positivity had higher lymphocytic infiltration into the tumour microenvironment. Overall, these patients had significantly higher overall survival, however, no significant difference was observed in progression-free survival. No significant prognostic differences were observed between the nSIRPα and miSIRPα groups. This is the first study to demonstrate an association between CD47 expression and improved prognosis in myeloid sarcoma. Nonetheless, it will be necessary to conduct additional research on gene expression and genomic abnormalities to elucidate the corresponding pathogenesis of myeloid sarcoma.
