CLL /SLL Flashcards
CLL or SLL
Mature lymphocyte proliferation Mature morphology not functionally= immunologically incompent SLL ▶️ If less than 4000 or as a mass CLL▶️If more than 4000 or in blood
Patient age and gender ( common)
Older than 60 male
Pathogenisis
There is 🔼 level of BCL-2 This will lead to increase proliferation of cells ▶️ Immune dysregulation, accumulation of CLL/SLL cells suppresses normal B cell function
Clinical presentation
Usually asymptotic
But Patient may develop:
- lymphocytosis ( if alone this is stage 1)
- General lymphadenopathy
- hepatosplenomegaly
- anemia and thrombocytopenia ( this indicates severity of the case )
- Hypogammaglobulinemia in more than 50٪ of patients (usually comes late ) lead to increase infection نقص تكون الانتيبوديز
Morphology

- Sheets of small lymphocytes
- scattered ill defined foci of ▶️ larger لكن للان صغيرةactively dividing cells diffusely efface the involved lymph nodes (represents proliferation centers)
- Cells: Small lymphoid tumor cells
Nucleus : -round small -smooth nuclear membrane and prominent -central nucleoli

Neoplastic cells have surface markers mention them .

Prognosis
يعتبر indolent lymphoma
بعد التشخيص اغلب المرضى يعيشون اكثر من عشر سنين ويموتون من سبب ماله علاقه بالتشخيص
