B lymphoblastic leukaemia/lymphoma (B-ALL) with t(17;19)(q22;p13), resulting in the TCF3::HLF gene fusion, is newly recognized as a distinct entity in the WHO 5th edition classification. TCF3 rearrangements are identified in approximately 5–11% of B-ALL cases, with several fusion partners reported, including PBX1, HLF, and ZNF384. B-ALL with TCF3::PBX1 fusion is also classified as a separate entity in the latest WHO edition<ref>WHO Classification of Tumours Editorial Board, eds, WHO Classification of Tumours, Haematolymphoid Tumours, 5th edition, IARC Press:Lyon, 2024.
