Hematolgy + Onkology Flashcards
What is Aculte lmphoblastic leukemia/ lymphoma?
more in children, T-cell ALL can present as mesdiastinal mass, associated with Down syndrome, tdt, CD10+
t(12;21)
increased lymphoblasts
all-trans retinoic acid, Vit A
Rbc inclusions
what is seen in sideroblastic anemia eg. lead poisoning?
basophilic stippling, they are ribosomal precipitates
what is seen in g6pd?
Heinz bodies due to oxidative stress which cause hb denaturing and precipitates
what can be seen in hypoplenia and aplenia?
basophilc nuclear remnants found in rbcs
howel-jolly bodies are removed from splenic macrophages
what can be found in megalobastic anemia?
impaired dna, hypersegmented neutrophils
What are the causes of folate deficiency?
malnutrition: alcohol, malabsorption, drugs: metotrxate
Multiple myeloma
What appears in MM?
think CRAB:
hyperCalcemia Renal involvement Anemia Bone lytic lesions/ Back pain Multiple Myeloma: Monoclonal M-protein
Monoclonal plasma cells: fried egg appearance, IgG and IgA
Clock face
Rouleaux formation
dipstick: is negative only Albumen and Bence Jones proteins.
Burkitt lymphoma translocation
Burk-8 t(8;14) c-myc and BCL2 genes, stary sky
Mantel cell lymphoma
t (11;14) cycline D1 activation
Marginal zone lymphoma
t(11:18), associated with chron. infections eg. Sjörgen, MALT Lymphoma, CD5 very aggressive
Follicular lymphoma
t(14;18) heavy chain Ig 14 BCL2 inhibits apoptosis, present with painless waxing and waning
APL
t(15;17) M3 type of AML; respondsto all-trans retinoic acid
CML
t(9;22) Philadelphia chromosme BCR-ABL hybrid
sideroblastic anemia
gen. x-linkeddefect of ALA synthase gene, aquired (myolodysblastic syndrome) and revesible (alcohol, lead, vit. b6 defiency, copper deficiency, drugs like izoniazid, linozolid
increased iron and ferritn
lead poisining
Ferrochelate and ALA dehydratsae def., accumulation of protoporphyrin, ALA leads to mirocytic aneamia and
ringed sideroblasts in bone marrow
Acute intermittent porhyria
Porphobilinogen deaminase, previously known as uroporphyrinogen 1, auto. domi., accu. of porphorbilinogen, ALA. Symptoms 5Ps: Painful abdome, Portwine couloured urine, polyneropathy, psychlogical disturbances, Precipitation by drugs
Treatment and glucose
porphyria cutanea tarda
Uropophyrinogen decaboxylase, accu. of Uroporphyrin (tea colored urine).
Blistering due to sun
Treatment: phlebotomy, antimalrials
Sideroblastic anemia (X-linked)
aminolevulinic acid synthase
Lead poisoning
Aminolevulonic acid dehydratase
Hodgkin lymphoma
Reed-Sternberg cell (owl eyes) distinc giant cells
CD 15, CD 30
2 owl eyesx 15= 30
NON Hdgen lymphoma
B-cells, associated with EBV, HIV
Diffuse b-cell lymphoma
BCL2 and BCL6, most common lymphoma
prim. central nervous system lymphoma
AIDS
Adult T-cell lymphoma
IV drug abuse, T-cell for Tokyo
CLL
60> CLL= crushed little lymphocytes= smudge cell, most common CD20, CD23, CD5+ B-cell neoplasm
