Chapter 6: High yield White Blood Cell Disorders Flashcards
CD 34
hematopoietic stem cell
CD 16
Fc receptor. Decreased in immature neutrophils.
Left shift?
release immature neutrophils
Eosinophilia
Think Hodgkin Lymphoma.
Basophilia
Think chronic myeloid leukemia
Positive TdT nuclear staining means
Its a lymphoblast - so would be ALL. TdT is a DNA polymerase
Tdt+; CD10,19, and 20. t(12;21) [children] t(9;22) [adults]
B-ALL
TdT+; CD2-CD8 NO CD10
T-ALL. if present in teens as a mediastinal (thymic) mass - call acute lymphoblastic LYMPHOMA because the malignant cells form a mass.
MPO positive in cytoplasm means
Myeloblasts. will get crystal aggregates of MPO into AUER RODS
MPO +; t(15;17)
APL (Acute promyelocytic leukemia). retinoic acid receptor (17). Risk of DIC. Tx = all-trans-retinoic acid (vitamin A derivative)
Cytopenia; hypercellular bone marrow; increased blasts (but < 20%); prior exposure to alkylating agents or radiotherapy
Myelodysplastic syndrome
Neoplastic proliferation of blasts; defiend as the accumation of >20% blasts in the bone marrow
Acute Leukemia
Neoplastic proliferation of mature circulating lymphocytes; characterized by a high WBC count
Chronic Leukemia
Neoplastic proliferation of naïve B cells that co-express CD5 and CD20. Increased lymphocytes and smudge cells. Generalized lymphadenopathy.
Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia (CLL); Complications = Hypogammaglobulinemia, Autoimmune hemolytic anemia, and transformation to DIFFUSE LARGE B-CELL LYMPHOMA (RICHTER TRANSFORMATION) Marked by enlarging lymph node or spleen
Neoplastic proliferation of mature B cell characterized by HAIRY CYTOPLASMIC PROCESSES. + tartrate-resistant acid phosphatase (TRAP). splenomegaly [RED PULP], dry tap on bone marrow
Hairy Cell leukemia
Tx of hairy cell leukemia
2-CDA (Cladribine) - an adenosine deaminase inhibitor
