The entity myelodysplastic syndrome/myeloproliferative neoplasm overlap syndrome is characterized by the coexistence of both myeloproliferative and myelodysplastic features in the bone marrow. Risk assessment and treatment recommendations have not been standardized, and clinicians rely on updated patient studies and reviews to make decisions for treatment approaches. Histopathological features have traditionally been important, although in the last decade, several studies have reported mutational profiles of this rare disease. Here, we present a case, wherein the patient presented with leukocytosis and the diagnostic work-up revealed features of myelodysplastic syndrome/myeloproliferative neoplasm overlap syndrome. Mutational profiling revealed mutations in four genes associated with myeloid malignancies, namely,  EZH2, CUX1, TET2 , and  BCOR . After initial therapy with hydroxyurea and interferon-α, the patient underwent allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation, with reduced intensity conditioning and a matched sibling donor. He had no signs of relapsed disease 2 years after the transplant. Based on the patient outcome, we summarize the diagnostic and therapeutic approaches for patients diagnosed with myelodysplastic syndrome/myeloproliferative neoplasm overlap syndrome, and review the current literature, emphasizing the role of genetic mutations and allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation. Larger and more detailed clinical studies are strongly needed to optimize and standardize diagnostic and therapeutic approaches for this disease.
