final review Flashcards
what do suer rods indicate
myeloid not lymphoid leukemia
where are faggot cells common
M3 acute promyelocytic leukemia
FAB indication of acute leukemia
> 30% blasts in BM & >5 % in blood
M0- acute myeloblastic leukemia (AML)
M3- Aute promeylocytic leukemia ( APL)- hypergranular promyelocytic
M4- acute myelomonocytic leukemia (AMML) - naegeli
M5- acute monocytic leukemia-a&b ( AMoL)- schillingg (a)
M6- erytholeukemia (AEL) - Di Guglielmo syndrome
m7 - megakaryoblastic leukemia ( AMegL)
AML
M0
common in adults
increased myeloblasts
NRBCs
thrombocytopenia
> 30% blasts in BM
ALL
acute lymphoblastic leukemia
common in children
increased lymphoblasts
L1 - scanty cytoplasm, small
L2 large, lots of cytoplasm, indented nucleus
L3 (Burkitts) - large lots of basophilic cytoplasm, vacuoles
splenomegaly
NRBCs
thrombocytopenia
> 50% lymphoblasts
serum uric acid & LD may be increased
AMoL
M5
bleed disorder
splenomegaly
infections
extramedullary : lymoh nodes, skin, liver, spleen, CNS
M5a - schillings type poorly differentiated monoblasts chromosome 11 band q 23 younger age
M5b well differentiated promonocytes nucleus has more folding/ lobulation adults
AMML
M4- naegleri
monocytic & granulocytic differentiation
the myeloblast stains positive for MPO or SBB
M4Eo -AMML associated with BM eosinophilia - inversion of chromosome 16 - shows myeloid and monocytic differentiation stains postive for MPO, SBB & NSE
APL
Acute promyelocytic leukemia - M3
> 30% of non RBCs
heavy granulation ( sometime obscures nucleus )
abundant cytoplasm
bundles of auer rods ( faggot cells)
translocation of 15; 17 that leads to gene fusion
bleeding episodes
- DIC ( abnormal promyelocytes produce tissue like substances that triggers DIC)
AEL
AmegL
what is the lap score of a leukmoid reaction vs CML
leukmoid reaction has an increased lap score
CML has a low lap score unless there is an infection ( also left shift & higher WBC count ) `
differences betweene ALL & AML
AML
- children
- granules/ auer rods
- MPO & SBB +
- TdT -
ALL
- adults
- MPO & SBB -
- TdT +
