AbstractErdheim–Chester disease (ECD) is a histiocytic neoplasm that predominantly harbors mitogen‐activated protein kinase (MAPK) pathway variants. MAPK inhibitors typically are effective treatments, but mutations outside the MAPK pathway, such as CSF1R variants, may cause refractory ECD. We describe a patient with a novel somatic mutation in CSF1R (CSF1RR549_E554delinsQ) that resulted in refractory ECD affecting the central nervous system. Cell model studies, RNA sequencing analysis, and in silico protein modeling suggested that she had a gain‐of‐function mutation occurring in a region critical for autoinhibition. The patient was treated with pexidartinib, a CSF1R inhibitor, and has had a complete clinical and metabolic response lasting more than 1.5 years to date. To our knowledge, this is the first report to describe successful treatment of a patient with ECD by using an agent that specifically targets CSF1R. This case also highlights the critical role of individualized molecular profiling to identify novel therapeutic targets in ECD.

Abstract Introduction Histiocytic disorders pose significant diagnostic and management challenges for the clinicians due to diverse clinical manifestations and often non-specific histopathologic findings. Herein, we report the tumor board experience from the first-of-its-kind Histiocytosis Working Group (HWG). Materials and Methods The HWG was established in June 2017 and consists of experts from 10 subspecialties that discuss cases in a multidisciplinary format. We present the outcome of tumor board case discussions during the first 2 years since its inception (June 2017-June 2019). Results Forty cases with a suspected histiocytic disorder were reviewed at HWG during this time period. Average number of subspecialties involved in HWG case discussion was 5 (range, 2-9). Histiocytosis Working Group tumor board recommendations led to significant changes in the care of 24 (60%) patients. These included change in diagnosis (n = 11, 27%) and change in treatment (n = 13, 33%). Conclusion Our report highlights the feasibility of a multidisciplinary tumor board and its impact on outcomes of patients with histiocytic disorders.

Abstract Background: Erdheim-Chester disease (ECD) is characterized by multi-organ infiltration of clonal histiocytes bearing activating mutations predominantly in the MAPK pathway. The diagnosis of ECD is clinico-pathologic; histopathologic findings alone are often non-specific. Characteristic pathognomonic finding of ECD is the symmetric osteosclerosis of the distal femur and proximal tibia/fibula, seen in >90% of cases, and referred to herein as classic ECD (C-ECD). There is a paucity of data on the phenotypic and mutational differences between C-ECD and non-classic ECD (NC-ECD). Determining phenotypic patterns may allow for earlier suspicion and diagnosis. Methods: Patients who met the revised ECD criteria proposed by Haroche J et al (Blood 2020;135:1311-1318) and had full body imaging that included the lower legs (18-FDG-PET/CT or CT/bone scan) were included. ECD diagnosis was made when >1 major criteria plus >1 minor criteria were present. Major criteria: 1) symmetric meta-diaphyseal osteosclerosis in legs; 2) "hairy kidneys"; "coated aorta", right atrial pseudotumor, xanthelasma, exophthalmos; or osteosclerosis of paranasal sinuses. Minor criteria: 1) histologic finding of typical foamy histiocytes (CD68+/CD163+/CD1a-) associated with fibrosis; 2) mutation/gene fusion of BRAF, CSF1R, or MAPK/PI3K pathways. We compared the organ involvement and BRAF V600Emutational status between C-ECD and NC-ECD. Results: A total of 105 patients were included. The median age at diagnosis was 57 years (range, 38-81) and most were males (62%). Majority had 18-FDG-PET/CT (83%) and BRAF V600E testing (65%). The main organ systems involved were skeletal (83%), renal (64%), adrenal (44%), and pulmonary (42%). Central diabetes insipidus (DI), "hairy kidneys", and "coated aorta" were present in 27 (26%), 54 (51%), and 44 (42%) patients, respectively. Among those tested, BRAF V600E mutation was found in 48/67 (72%) by immunohistochemistry. In our cohort, most patients (n=87. 83%) had C-ECD. NC-ECD had significantly lower number of organs/systems involved compared with C-ECD (median 3 vs 6, p=0.002). C-ECD had significantly higher rates of involvement of paranasal sinuses (51%/7%, p=0.002), DI (26%/0%, p=0.02), and similar rates of lung (44%/43%), cardiac (34%/14%), and skin (14%14%) involvement when compared to NC-ECD. BRAF V600E was significantly more common in C-ECD (88%/30%, p=0.004). Thirty-nine (37%) patients underwent next generation sequencing, of whom 33 (31%) had successful testing. In C-ECD, 3 patients had mutations other than BRAF V600E, these included: NRAS, MAP2K1, and MEF2C-FLT3 fusion. In NC-ECD, 5 patients had mutations other than BRAF V600E, these included: MAP2K1, KRAS, and NF1. Conclusions: Our study suggests distinct differences in clinical presentation and molecular findings exist between C-ECD and NC-ECD. C-ECD has a higher degree of organ involvement and harbor BRAF V600E more frequently than NC-ECD. Further analysis of histopathologic findings and outcomes in this cohort may provide insights into these ECD subsets that can optimize future management of this disease.

Abstract INTRODUCTION Rosai-Dorfman disease (RDD) is a rare histiocytic disorder associated with histiocytes expressing high level of macrophage colony stimulating factor receptor (c-fms). Mutations in mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) pathway have been reported in RDD, indicating an underlying clonal process in some patients. Aberrant activation of MAPK pathway can occur due to mutations or high c-fms expression. Data on the use of MAPK/extracellular-signal-related kinase (ERK)-inhibitor therapy in RDD are very limited. Cobimetinib is a MEK inhibitor, which is listed in the National Comprehensive Cancer Network Compendium ® for the treatment of RDD. We present our retrospective experience of cobimetinib treatment in a large series of patients with RDD. METHODS Following approval of the institutional reviewed board, patients (pts) with RDD who were consecutively seen at Mayo Clinic and treated with cobimetinib between 2013-2021 were included. Response was assessed as described by Goyal et al (Haematologica 2020;105:2). Cobimetinib was given 20-60 mg once a day by mouth for 21 days in a 28-day cycle. Adverse events (AEs) were graded using the National Cancer Institute Common Toxicity Criteria v5.0. Time-to-event analyses were calculated from the time of treatment initiation, while duration of response was calculated from the time of 1 st response. Tumor genomic profile was analyzed using Tempus-xT ® assay (Chicago, IL), which includes targeted DNA sequencing (648 oncogenes) and whole transcriptome sequencing. RESULTS Of the 54 pts with RDD, ten were treated with cobimetinib and included in this study. The median follow-up was 16 months (m) [95% confidence interval (CI): 13-not reached (NR)] and most (n=8; 80%) were females. The median age at the time of treatment was 63 years (range: 36-74). Cobimetinib was used as first line therapy in four pts. Overall response rate was 70%, with 30% and 40% achieving complete (CR) and partial (PR) responses, respectively. One had stable disease (SD) and two had progressive disease (PD) (Table 1). The median progression-free-survival was 6.4 m (95%CI: 4.9-NR) and at 6 and 12 m, 67% and 50% of pts remained free from disease progression or death, respectively (Figure 1). The median duration of response was 7.6 m (95%CI: 3.1-NR). At the time of last follow-up, nine (90%) pts were alive. One pt died due to myelodysplastic syndrome with excessive blasts. She had multiple chemotherapy treatments before initiation of cobimetinib. Cobimetinib was discontinued in this pt due to grade 3 anemia and skin toxicity after 6 m of therapy and had SD as the best response. Median duration of treatment for the entire cohort was 6 m (range: 2-14). In the seven pts who responded, the median duration of treatment was 7 m (range: 2-14). Cobimetinib was discontinued in seven pts: disease progression (n=3; one disease progression after achieving PR and two PD while on therapy), grade 3 left ventricular systolic dysfunction (n=1), grade 3 diarrhea (n=1), grade 3 anemia (n=1), and grade 2 creatinine elevation (n=1). Five (50%) pts were started at a reduced dose of cobimetinib at the discretion of treating physician [20 mg (n=4) and 40mg, (n=1)]. Two pts were started at 60 mg and dose reduced to 20 mg after one cycle of treatment due to grade 2 skin toxicity in one and grade 2 skin toxicity and diarrhea in the other. Both pts achieved a PR but progressed after four and six cycles, respectively. One pt started at 40 mg and reduced to 20 mg due to grade 2 skin toxicity after two cycles achieving a PR. The response was sustained in this pt for at least 9 months, until the time of last follow-up (Table 1). Tissue molecular testing showed five pts with MAPK pathway alterations and all of them responded to therapy (CR=3 and PR=2). Of the other five pts who either did not have a MAPK pathway alteration (n=4) or had test failure (n=1), responses were observed in two (40%) pts, both PR (Table 1). CONCLUSION Our study suggests that cobimetinib is an effective treatment in RDD, with responses observed in all pts having MAPK pathway alterations. Less than half of pts without a MAPK pathway alteration achieved a response. However, treatment discontinuations due to AEs were common despite dose reductions. Patients who were treated at low doses of cobimetinib also had remarkable clinical response. Further studies are needed in evaluating other MAPK pathway inhibitors with better toxicity profile to improve adherence and outcomes. Figure 1 Figure 1.

Abstract Purpose: Axicabtagene ciloleucel (axi-cel) is an anti-CD19 chimeric antigen receptor T-cell (CAR-T) therapy utilized for patients with non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL) refractory to at least 2 lines of therapy. F-18 fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography/computed tomography (PET/CT) is used to evaluate disease extent prior to CAR-T infusion at two time points: pre-leukapheresis (pre-leuk) approximately 6 weeks prior to CAR-T infusion, and pre-lymphodepletion chemotherapy (pre-LD) approximately 1 week prior to CAR-T infusion. We hypothesized that PET/CT characteristics beyond Lugano criteria, such as metabolic tumor volume (MTV), total lesion glycolysis (TLG), SUV maximum (SUVMax), and changes in these parameters from pre-leuk to pre-LD, may predict for progressive disease (PD), death, and treatment toxicity after CAR-T infusion. Methods: Patients with NHL who received axi-cel on a prospective registry at Mayo Clinic Rochester were included. Lesions on pre-leuk and pre-LD PET/CT scans were segmented with a fixed absolute SUVMax threshold of 2.5 using a semi-automated workflow (LesionID, MIM Software Inc.) with manual modification to exclude physiologic uptake as needed. MTV, TLG, SUVMax, number of lesions, and other lesion characteristics were assessed for each PET/CT, and changes from pre-leuk to pre-LD were calculated. Lesions were categorized as either nodal, spleen, bone, parenchymal (i.e. liver, lung), or soft tissue (i.e. subcutaneous, muscle), and MTV was calculated for each category. Univariate Cox modeling was used to associate relative and directional change in metabolic and volumetric PET/CT characteristics with PD and death, after adjusting for bridging therapy. LASSO method was used for multivariable model selection. Pre-LD PET/CT characteristics were also assessed for association with presence and duration of cytokine release syndrome (CRS), grade 3+ immune effector cell-associated neurotoxicity syndrome (ICANS), tocilizumab (toci) use, and corticosteroid use. Results: From 2018-2020, axi-cel was delivered to 69 patients. Histology included diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (57%), transformed follicular lymphoma (23%), or high-grade lymphoma (19%). Pre-leuk and pre-LD PET/CT scans were performed a median of 46 days and 7 days prior to CAR-T infusion, respectively. Forty patients (58%) received bridging therapy between scans, including 9 (13%) receiving radiotherapy. At a median follow-up of 13 months, 39 (57%) had died and 46 (67%) had PD. Sixty patients (87%) developed CRS following CAR-T infusion for a median duration of 5 days. Presence of pre-LD parenchymal disease was associated with longer duration CRS (p=0.032). Thirty-seven patients (54%) developed ICANS for a median duration of 4.5 days, including 12 (32%) with grade 3+ ICANS. Greater pre-LD total MTV was associated with higher risk of grade 3+ ICANS (p=0.042). Greater pre-LD SUVMax was associated with longer duration ICANS (p=0.032). Nineteen (28%) patients required toci. Greater pre-LD total MTV, SUVMax, TLG, and volume of the largest lesion were associated with increased use of toci (p<0.05 for all). Greater pre-LD total MTV and TLG of the largest lesion were associated with increased use of corticosteroid (p<0.05 for each). While no individual pre-leuk or pre-LD PET/CT characteristics were associated with risk of PD or death, increases from pre-leuk to pre-LD in total MTV, total TLG, parenchymal MTV, and nodal MTV were associated with increased risk of PD (Figure 1). Similarly, increases from pre-leuk to pre-LD in parenchymal MTV, nodal MTV, TLG of the largest lesion, and total number of lesions were associated with increased risk of death (p<0.05 for all). LASSO analysis identified increasing extranodal MTV (≥25% increase) and increasing TLG of the largest lesion (≥10% increase) as strong predictors of death (AUC 0.74, Table 1). Kaplan-Meier plots were generated for overall and progression-free survival using these risk factors (Figure 2). Additional patients and follow-up will be presented. Conclusions: Patients with greater pre-LD MTV had higher risk of grade 3+ ICANS and use of toci or corticosteroids. Increasing metabolic disease burden during CAR-T manufacturing is associated with increased risk of PD and death. A two variable risk score using increasing extranodal disease and increasing TLG of the largest lesion may stratify prognosis prior to CAR-T and inform treatment paradigms. Figure 1 Figure 1.

Abstract Introduction: Up to 40% of newly diagnosed diffuse large B cell lymphoma (DLBCL) will relapse after frontline rituximab, doxorubicin, cyclophosphamide, vincristine, and prednisone (RCHOP), with subsequent poor prognosis. Identification of patients (pts) at high risk of relapse early in the treatment can allow for development of risk adapted therapies to improve outcomes. Positron Emission Tomography scan after 2 cycles of therapy (PET2) has been evaluated as a predictor of relapse but study treatments were heterogenous and results were conflicting. A substudy of CALGB 50303 trial did not find association of PET2 response by Deauville Score (DS) with survival in RCHOP and DA-EPOCH-R treated pts. In the UK National Cancer Research Institute Prospective Study, DS of 5 on PET2 predicted worse progression free survival but not overall survival (OS) in RCHOP-21 and RCHOP-14 treated pts. Here we report impact of PET2 response on outcomes in two large independent, prospective cohorts of newly diagnosed DLBCL treated homogenously with two RCHOP-based regimens of similar efficacy. Methods: Discovery was done in adult pts with DLBCL enrolled into a single arm phase 2 trial of lenalidomide plus standard RCHOP (R2CHOP) (MC078E, NCT00670358). The validation cohort comprised of adult pts with newly diagnosed DLBCL treated with standard RCHOP prospectively enrolled into the Mayo component of the University of Iowa/Mayo Clinic Molecular Epidemiology Resource (MER). Both MC078E and MER cohorts included patients who received at least 3-6 cycles of therapy and had a PET2. Pts who progressed on PET2 were excluded. End of treatment (EOT) PET was done 3-12 weeks after last cycle of therapy. The revised response criteria for malignant lymphoma (Cheson, et al 2007) was used to assess PET in MC078E. In MER, revised response criteria for malignant lymphoma (Cheson et al 2007) or Lugano classification was used, depending on era of diagnosis. Positive PET was defined as FDG uptake above background (Cheson 2007) or DS 4 or 5 (Lugano 2014). Study endpoints were event-free survival (EFS) and OS by PET2 status. Results: Out of 118 pts treated on MC078E, 102 had PET2 (MC078E). The median age at diagnosis was 64 years (range 19-87), 61 (60%) were male, 89 (87%) had advanced stage disease, 46 (45%) had international prognostic index (IPI) of 3-5. 58 (57%) were PET2 Negative (PET2-ve) and 44 (43%) were PET2 Positive (PET2+ve). At EOT PET, 83 (81%) had -ve PET and 15 (15%) had +ve PET. Out of 44 PET2+ve pts, 15 remained +ve at EOT PET. Out of 58 PET2-ve pts, 56 had EOT PET available and all were -ve. Out of 866 DLBCL pts enrolled into MER between August 2005 and June 2015, 621 were treated with RCHOP for 3-6 cycles and 272 had available PET2 (MER). The median age was 65 years (range 55-73), 152 (56%) were male, 174 (64%) had advanced stage, 103 (38%) had IPI 3-5. 186 (68%) were PET2-ve and 86 (32%) were PET2+ve. Out of 235 with EOT PET available, 182 (77%) had -ve EOT PET and 25 (11%) had +ve EOT PET. PET2+ve pts had higher odds of +ve EOT PET (OR: 17.4 (CI 95 8.3-40.0), p<0.001) and progression on EOT PET (OR: 4.3 (CI 95 1.9-10.2), p<0.001) in MER cohort. This analysis was not possible on MC078E as all PET2-ve had -ve EOT PET. In MC078E, 2-year EFS and OS were 69.5% (CI 95 61.1-79.1) and 88.1% (CI 95 82-94.7). In MER, 2-year EFS and OS were 71.6% (CI 95 67.7-76.8) and 82.3% (CI 95 79.3-85.3). Compared to PET2-ve, PET2+ve pts had significantly inferior EFS in both MC078E (HR 4.0, CI 95 2.1-7.88, p<0.0001, figure 1a) and MER (HR 2.9, CI 95 1.9-4.1, p<0.0001, figure 1c). Compared to PET2-ve , PET2+ve pts had a trend towards lower OS in MC078E (HR 2.0, CI 95 0.9-4.9, p=0.1, figure 1b) and a significantly lower OS in MER (HR 2.3, CI 95: 1.5-3.4, p<0.0001, figure 1d). In subgroup analysis of MC078E, PET2+ve pts had lower EFS and a trend towards lower OS in all subgroups except IPI 0-2 (Table 1). In MER, PET2+ve pts had lower EFS and OS in all the subgroups except stage I-II and IPI 0-2 (Table 1). Conclusions: Positive PET2 was associated with increased risk of disease progression and death in newly diagnosed DLBCL. Results of our study provide robust evidence of importance of PET2 as an early predictor DLBCL pts at high risk of progression in two independent prospective cohorts. PET2-guided risk-adapted strategies using chimeric antigen receptor T-cell therapy and bispecific antibodies may potentially improve outcomes, should be explored in clinical trials and results of our study serve as a benchmark for such studies.

SummaryErdheim–Chester disease (ECD) is a rare histiocytic neoplasm with frequent multiorgan involvement. An accurate diagnosis of ECD requires the correlation of clinical features, histopathologic and radiologic findings. We describe a case series of patients with a referral diagnosis of ECD, whereby the diagnosis was changed to non‐histiocytic diseases after comprehensive review at a tertiary care center. This accurate revision of the referral diagnosis of ECD enabled initiation of proper disease‐directed therapy in a timely manner for these patients and avoided unnecessary exposure to systemic cytotoxic chemotherapy or targeted agents. Our study highlights the value of a multidisciplinary team of histiocytosis experts in confirming the diagnosis of ECD and also brings attention to other conditions to consider that can mimic ECD, including osteopoikilosis, tenosynovial giant cell tumour, IgG4‐related disease, fibrous dysplasia and chronic recurrent multifocal osteomyelitis.

AbstractLangerhans cell histiocytosis (LCH) is a histiocytic neoplasm that can involve the lungs as single system (LCH‐SSL) or multisystem disease (LCH‐MSL). The role of full‐body radiographic staging to determine whether patients have LCH‐SSL or LCH‐MSL is unclear. Long‐term outcomes of LCH‐SSL versus LCH‐MSL and multisystem without lung involvement (LCH‐MSNL) are unknown. A retrospective study of adult LCH patients seen at our center from January 2000 to 2020 was performed. In Part 1, we addressed utility of whole‐body staging imaging among those presenting with isolated pulmonary signs or symptoms. Staging was defined as fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography‐computed tomography (CT) or whole‐body CT obtained within 3 months of diagnosis. In Part 2, we examined the frequency of developing extra‐pulmonary disease over time and mortality in patients with LCH‐SSL. In Part 3, we compared the overall survival of LCH‐SSL, LCH‐MSL, and LCH‐MSNL. Part 1: 240 patients with LCH were identified. A total of 112 (47%) had pulmonary signs or symptoms at presentation. Thirty‐four (30%) underwent radiographic staging and only one showed evidence of extra‐pulmonary disease. Part 2: 108 (45%) were LCH‐SSL. Median follow‐up duration of 4.5 years (95% confidence interval [CI]: 2.9–6.0). None developed extra‐pulmonary disease. Part 3: 5‐year survival: 94% (95% CI: 84%–98%) for LCH‐SSL, 78% (95% CI: 59%–90%) for LCH‐MSL, and 75% (95% CI: 53%–89%) for LCH‐MSNL. LCH patients presenting with isolated pulmonary signs or symptoms rarely have extra‐pulmonary involvement at the time of diagnosis and generally do not develop extra‐pulmonary progression. LCH‐SSL has the best overall survival, while LCH‐MSL and LCH‐MSNL have similar clinical outcomes.

7050 Background: Langerhans cell histiocytosis (LCH) is an inflammatory myeloid neoplasm manifesting as unifocal, multifocal, multisystem (MS) or pulmonary LCH (smoking-related). In pediatric LCH, somatic BRAFV600E prevalence is reported at 55-70%, and associated with increased risk of multisystem disease and early treatment failure. Our aim was to describe the prevalence of BRAFV600E mutation and evaluate its association with clinical manifestations and outcomes in adults with LCH. Methods: A retrospective review of adult patients diagnosed with LCH consecutively seen at Mayo Clinic from 2011 to 2020 was performed.Evaluation of association of BRAFV600E mutational status and clinical factors was conducted by the Chi-square test for independence. Progression-free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS) were analyzed via the Kaplan Meier method and compared with the log-rank test to assess the effect of BRAFV600E. Results: Of the total LCH cohort ( n= 128), 88 patients with available BRAFV600E results were included in the study. Median age at diagnosis was 41y (range 19 - 88); 52.3% were male. 40 (45.5%) patients had a BRAFV600E mutation. Increasing age was associated with BRAFV600E (10-year increase OR 1.42, 95%CI 1.07-1.89; p= 0.017). No correlation was observed between BRAFV600E status and site of disease, risk organ (RO: liver, spleen, marrow) involvement, or MS disease. Patients with BRAFV600E were 4 times more likely to receive targeted therapy ( BRAF inhibitor) than non- BRAFV600E patients ( p= 0.018). After a median follow up of 46 mo (95% CI 30.8-61.2), PFS was similar between BRAFV600E and non- BRAFV600E patients ( p= 0.167). However, patients with BRAFV600E had a worse 3-year OS compared with non- BRAFV600E patients (84% vs. 97.1%, p= 0.027). Patients who died had a significantly higher age at LCH diagnosis (median 62 vs. 38 years; p= 0.0002). Conclusions: In our cohort of adults with LCH, BRAFV600E was less frequent than reported in pediatric literature and was associated with worse OS. The frequency of BRAFV600E was positively correlated with increasing age. Contrary to reports in pediatric LCH, there were no significant associations between BRAFV600E and high-risk or multisystem disease.[Table: see text]

7049 Background: Langerhans cell histiocytosis (LCH) can manifest as single system (SS) disease, multisystem (MS) disease, or pulmonary LCH (smoking-related). There is a paucity of data on prognostic factors including risk organ (RO) involvement (liver, spleen, and bone marrow) in adult LCH, which we sought to address in this study. Methods: Single-center retrospective study of patients ≥18y diagnosed with LCH from 1998 to 2020. Univariate and multivariate analyses for progression free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS) were conducted using age, sex, organ involvement, LCH subtype, year of diagnosis, BRAF V600E status, and treatments. Results: We included 219 patients with LCH; median age 43y (range 19-88), females 51%, SS unifocal (23%), SS multifocal (6%), pulmonary (31%) and MS (40%). Commonly involved organs included lung (53%), bone (42%), skin (24%), pituitary (16%), and CNS (12%). BRAF V600E was positive in 40/88 (46%). Median follow-up duration was 6.1y (95% CI, 5.1- 7.1). On univariate analysis, factors associated with worse PFS were bone LCH, RO involvement, multifocal/MS LCH, and radiation therapy alone; those with worse OS included RO involvement, MS disease, BRAF V600E+, and age ≥45y at diagnosis. In multivariate analysis, BRAF V600E and age ≥45y at diagnosis were associated with worse mortality (Table). Median PFS was not reached (NR-NR) for SS unifocal LCH, 5mo (0-12.7) for SS multifocal LCH, 110mo (84.7-135.3) for pulmonary LCH, and 27mo (17.2-36.8) for MS LCH. 5-year OS was 97.4% for SS unifocal LCH, 100% for SS multifocal LCH, 96.1% for pulmonary LCH, and 79.9% for MS LCH. 41 (18.7%) developed a second primary malignancy (SPM), of which 11 were hematologic neoplasms. There was a trend towards a higher prevalence of SPMs in patients with BRAF V600E (28% vs. 17%; p = 0.22). Conclusions: In our large single-center study, PFS for multifocal and MS LCH was worse than SS unifocal or pulmonary LCH. RO involvement was not associated with outcomes in multivariate analysis. Overall prognosis was excellent for all subtypes except MS LCH. BRAF V600E and older age were associated with worse OS. The prevalence of SPMs was very high and needs to be explored further.[Table: see text]
