general term for malignancy that starts in the lymph system, mainly in the lymph nodes? types?

A

LYMPHOMAS

  1. Hodgkin Lymphoma
  2. Non-Hodgkin Lymphoma
34
Q

Proliferation of malignant lymphocytes with a basophilic vacuolated cytoplasm with starry sky pattern due to numerous tangible body macrophage that are arrested at certain stages of maturation

A

HODGKIN LYMPHOMA

35
Q

Hallmark of HODGKIN LYMPHOMA

A

Reed-Sternberg cell

36
Q

large binucleated/multinucleated cell resembles owl’s eye appearance with each nucleus bearing a very large nucleolus

A

Reed-Sternberg cell

37
Q

NON-HODGKIN LYMPHOMA is aka

A

Diffuse large B-cell lymphoma

38
Q

Reed-Sternberg is absent but mixed population of
lymphocytes, histiocytes, eosinophils and some plasma cells are present.

A

NON-HODGKIN LYMPHOMA

39
Q

cells overgrows, forming a mass or tumor that is located in the bone marrow

40
Q

Overproduction of various types of immature or mature leukocytes in BM and or peripheral blood

41
Q

Solid malignant tumors of lymph nodes

42
Q

Overproduction of plasma cells in BM with concurrent abnormal production of proteins

43
Q

cell types in leukemia

A

leukocytes of myelogenous or lymphocytic cell type

44
Q

Site of malignant cells in leukemia

A

malignant cells freely trespass BB barrier

45
Q

Site of malignant cells in lymphoma

A

malignant cells initially confined to organs containing MONONUCLEAR PHAGOCYTE CELLS (lymph nodes, spleen , liver, BM)

46
Q

Site of malignant cells in myeloma

A

Plasma cells forms a mass/tumor located in BM

47
Q

can spill over into the circulating blood and present a leukemic appearing picture on a PBS

48
Q

LEUKEMIAS are derived from the ancient Greek words:

A

leukos - “white”
haima - “blood”

49
Q

rapid, clonal proliferation in bone marrow of lymphoid or myeloid progenitor cells known as lymphoblasts and myeloblasts, respectively

A

Acute leukemia

50
Q

T/F

When the proliferation of blasts overwhelms the bone marrow, blasts are seen in the peripheral blood and the patient’s symptoms reflect suppression of hematopoiesis

51
Q

T/F

For most cases of acute leukemia, the causes directly related to the development of the malignancy are UNKNOWN.

52
Q

exceptions that exist as cause of acute leukemia

A

toxins - induce genetic changes leading to a malignant phenotype

53
Q

Environmental exposures known to lead to hematopoietic malignancies

A

radiation
exposure to organic solvents (benzene)

54
Q

T/F

Rarely, leukemias can be seen in patients with known familial cancer predisposition syndromes

55
Q

Induced DNA damage in hematopoietic cells due to alkylating agents and other forms of chemotherapy

A

Therapy-related leukemias

56
Q

classification devised in the 1970s and 1980s

A

French-American-British (FAB) classification of acute leukemias

57
Q

based largely on morphologic characteristics and examination of routine histologic stain preparations to distinguish lymphoid neoplasms from myeloid neoplasms

A

French-American-British (FAB) Classification

58
Q

French-American-British (FAB) Classification is separated into 3 broad leukocytes groups

A
  1. Myelogenous
  2. Monocytic
  3. Lymphocytic
59
Q

Major types of leukocytic leukemias can be classified as acute or chronic according to leukocyte group in FAB Classification

A

▪ Acute or Chronic Myelogenous
▪ Acute or Chronic Monocytic
▪ Acute or Chronic Myelomonocytic
▪ Acute or chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia (CLL)

60
Q

Published in 2001 and updated in 2008 and 2016, in collaboration with the Society for Hematopathology and the European Association for Haematopathology

A

World Health Organization (WHO) Classification

61
Q

classification considers clinical features, morphology, immunophenotyping, cytogenetics, and molecular genetics

A

World Health Organization (WHO) Classification

62
Q

Uses broad categories of mature lymphoid neoplasms, myeloid neoplasms, and acute leukemia

A

World Health Organization (WHO) Classification
