how to differentiate reactive vs neoplastic LAD
duration? growth interval (rapid?)?
size? (1 cm is way too big)
location? (axilla, cervical, inguinal-if not these, then probably more concerning)
tender vs nontender? (tender means probably acute and infectious. nontender suggests more neoplastic)
fixed vs. mobile? (fixed is more concerning)
associated PE findings?
how to differentiate reactive vs neoplastic LAD with histology
LN architecture is intact or effaced (effaced suggests neoplastic)
dominant cell type? (heterogeneous in reactive LAD-has dark/light zones of germinal center)
atypia?
flow cytometry?
reactive causes of LAD?
infectious
autoimmune
drugs (phenytoin)
foreign body
LAD-neoplastic causes of it?
lymphoma
leukemic involvement
metastatic tumor
histologic patterns of reactive LAD
follicular hyperplasia (autoimmune, early HIV, toxoplasmosis)
paracortical hyperplasia (EBV, CMV, herpes, drugs)
sinus histiocytosis (draining tumors)
which non Hodgkin’s lymphomas are aggressive?
Burkitt
diffuse large B cell
mantle cell (moderate)
peripheral T cell, unspecified
anaplastic large cell
extranodal NK/T cell
Hodgkin’s lymphoma’s spread–what is important to note about it?
contiguous
tx for follicular lymphoma
chemotherapy and antiCD20 monoclonal antibody therapy
starry sky-what is it exactly?
sky is sea of tumor cells
starry part is the tingible body macrophages that eat the debris as cells turnover
starry sky is seen in
Burkitt lymphoma
t(11;14)
cyclin D1 gene (chromosome 11) translocates to Ig heavy chain gene on chromosome 14
t(11;14) is associated with
mantle cell lymphoma
CD5 positive
mantle cell lymphoma
t(14,18)
BCL2 gene translocates to Ig heavy chain gene on chromsome 14
BCL2 overexpression
