B3.038 - Big Case Leukemia Flashcards
APL is frequently associated with what
DIC
what is diagnostic for acute leukemia
>20% blasts in bone marrow
what are the bone marrow pathological findings of ALL and AML
increased cellularity increased blasts
what is acute leukemia
neoplasm derived from prefcursor hematopoietic cells iwht proliferation and accumulation of immature (blast )cells aka proliferation without maturation
Variably hypercellular, megakaryocytic predominancy
mild or no fibrosis
ET
Markedly hypercellular, granulocyte predominance, blasts <10%, Mild fibrosis
CML
Acute Promyelocytic Leukemia translocation
t(15;17) Disrupts retinoic acid receptor (RAR-alpha) gene
ALL favorable prognostic features
Precursor B-ALL 4-10 yo <10,000 WBC hyperdiploidy, t(12;21)
Etiologic associations of leukemias
Trisomy 21 radiation exposure to alkylating agents, topoisomerase II inhibitors, primarily AML Immunodeficiency states other stem cell hematologic disorders
Hypercellular, mostly granulocytic and megakaryocytic
Reticulin and collagenous fibrosis and osteosclerosis
PMF
what are blood pathologic findings of AML and ALL
anemia nuetropenia thrombocytopenia circulating blasts
what is the most common cancer in children
ALL
how do you diagnose AML
>20% blasts in bone marrow myeloperoxidase + TdT- CD34+ CD13+ CD33+ CD117+
can AML turn into myeloproliferative neoplasms
no
why is hyperdiploidy favorable for ALL
specific types of chromosomes get repeated that help pt
what are these
schistocytes
Markedly hypercellular with erythroid predominance, increased and clustered megakaryocytes
Decreased or absent Iron
mild to moderate fibrosis
PV
when can lymphoid neoplasms occur
any point bc lymphoid cells live a long time and change/reproduce
what does acute promyelocytic leukemia looks like
abnormal promyelocyte like cells with multiple auer rods
AML has morphologic/functional similarity to
myeloid cell lines
