Ch. 13 Morphology Flashcards
When would you see Dohle bodies and Toxic granules
Leukocytosis (sepsis)
Engorged, swollen, painful LNs
Acute Nonspecific Lymphadenitis
Non-tender LNs with follicular and paracortical, hyperplasia as well as sinus histiocytosis
Chronic Nonspecific Lymphadenitis
Hypercellular BM with a “starry sky” appearance that is PAS+ and MPO-
Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia/Lymphoma (ALL)
Presence of “smudge cells” (small, round lymphocytes that get disrupted when making a smear) and scattered spherocytes
Chronic Lymphoblastic Leukemia (CLL)
Presence of centrocytes and centroblasts and parafollicular lymphoid aggregates in BM
Follicular Lymphoma (NHL)
Sheets of large B-cells
Diffuse Large B-Cell Lymphoma
Starry sky appearance in BM and aspirats show tumor cells with royal blue cytoplasm
Burkitt Lymphoma
Homogenous populations of small lymphoctyes with irregular/occassionally deeply clefted/cleaved nuclear contours and a nodular follicular pattern with no proliferation centers
Mantle Cell Lymphoma
Cells with two nuclei surrounded by a clear zone - Owls eyes
Reed-Sternberg cells of HL
In which disease do cells sometimes undergo ‘mummification’ where they shrink and become pyknotic
Classic HL
Lacunar RS cells and deposition of collagen bands that divide LNs into nodules
Nodular sclerosis HL
Frequent RS cells and nodules w/out fibrous septae
Mixed cellularity HL
Reactive lymphocytes with frequent mononuclear variants and RS cells
Lymphocyte rich HL
Abundance of RS cells and small amounts of lymphocytes
Lymphocyte depletion HL
