2nd Exam: Hematopathology Flashcards
Pain after drinking alcohol, think:
Hodgkin Disease
Auer rods, think this:
AML
Translocation t(8;14), think:
Burkitt’s Lymphoma
Lymphadenopathy may be due to:
reactive ( define) or neoplastic conditions
Ex’s of reactive conditions leading to lymphadenopathy:
infections, ai, malignant (non-lymphoid, lymphoid–lymphoma)
Infections that can lead to lymphadenopathy:
infectious mono, cat scratch disease, bacterial lymphadenitis, tubeculous lymphadenitits
Ai disease that can lead to lymphadenopathy:
RA
Ex’s of malignancies that can lead to lymphadenopathy:
non-lymphoid, lymphoid-lymphoma
Ex of non-lymphoid malignancy that can lead to lymphadenopathy:
metastatic carcinoma
T-cell zone of normal lymph node:
Parafollicular cortex
B-cell zone of normal lymph node:
Lymphoid follicles
Symptoms of lymphadenopathies depends on:
Node location, central vs. peripheral
Palpable nodes:
peripheral
Central nodes:
sup vena cava syndrome, obstruction of urethra or bowels
Cancer that begins in lymphoid cells of immune system
lymphoma
Lymphoma typically starts here:
lymph nodes (enlarged) or extra nodal lymphoid tissue (masses)
2 basic types of lymphoma:
hodgkin’s, non-h
Types of non-Hodgkin’s lymphomas:
indolent, aggressive
Define effacement:
normal structure replaced by tumor cells
2 types of leukemia:
lymphoid, myeloid
Malignant progressive, bone marrow produces inc # of immature or abnormal wbcs:
Leukemia
Effects of BM infiltration:
pain, weakness, shortness of breath, fatigue, CHF, neutropenia, anemia, thrombocytopenia, inc infection , bleeding, petechiae (bleeding into skin)
Clinical presentation of Hematologic Malignancies:
malaise, fatigue, w8 loss, fever, organ/ bm infiltration, lymphadenopathy, acute or chronic
Low grade hematologic malignancy:
mature appearing cells, low rate of proliferation, chronic, longer life expectancy untreated
High grade hematologic malignancy:
immature/ primitive cells, high mitotic rate, rapidly progressive, onset w/in wks, fast death (couple years) wo tx, may cure w aggressive therapy
TF? High grade hematologic malignancy is immunologically primitive.
F. (Difference between immunologically primitive and primitive)
Most common acute leukemia in children:
ALL
Classification is in regards to:
lineage, molecular chara, shape, immunophenotye, Cx syndromes, stage of differentiation
TF? lymphomas and lymphoid leukemias are classified into 1 classification system.
T
primitive marker:
CD34
5 lymphoid lineages:
precursor neoplasm, mature t-cell and b-cell neoplasm, Hodgkin’s lymphoma, post-transplant lymphoproliferative disorders
4 categories of neoplastic proliferations of WBc’s:
lymphoid lineage, histiocytic and dentdritic cell neoplasms (rare), hematopoeitic/ myeloid disorders, acute leuk’s of ambiguous origin
Types of precursor lymphoid neoplasms:
b-/ t-cell lymphoblastic leukemia/lymphoma
Blasts are associated w acute/ chronic.
acute
Markers of T-cell lineage:
CD1-8
markers for B-cell lineage:
CD10+
Marker shared by both T and B-cell lineages:
CD34, primitive marker
myelodysplastic vs. myeloproliferative:
inneffective vs effective hematopoiesis
Myeloproliferative neoplasms such as CML, high or low grade?
low
Types of hematopoeitic/ myeloid disorders:
myeloroliferateive neoplasms, myelodysplastic syndromes, myelodysplastic/myeloproliferative neoplasms, AML and related precursor neoplasms
myelodysplastic/myeloproliferative neoplasms, ineffective or effectve hematopoeisis?
both? (check)
ex of myeloproliferative neoplasm:
CML
87% of lymphomas are:
non-Hodgkin’s
Almost 50% of leukemias are:
CLL (60+ men,)
There are more cases of AML than:
ALL + CML
Non-Hodgkin’s lymphomas can be broken into these 2 branches:
B cell and T cell neoplasms
B cell neoplasms:
CLL/ small lymphocytic lymphoma, Diffuse large cell lymphoma, Burkitt’s lymphoma
Ex of T cell neoplasm:
mycosis fungoides, cutaneous lymphoid, mushroom like appearance
CD for T lymphs:
3, 4, 5, 8
CD for B lymphs and surface Ig:
19, 20
CD for most granulocytes:
13
CD for granulocytes, R-S cells:
15
CD for stem cells, pleuripotent:
34
CD for all wbc’s:
45
neoplastic cell in Hodgkins:
Reed Sternberg cells
Do low grade lymphomas divide?
no
Burkitt’s lymphoma:
Kids, endemic in Africa, extranodal, begins in man or max, esp in Africa, involves colon, adrenal, kidney, ovary, aggressive, high grade, poor prognosis, tx w chemo
Tx for Burkitt’s lymphoma:
chemo
