LYMPHOMA VS LEUKEMIA

A

LYMPHOMA = LOCALIZED, LYMPHOID
LEUKEMIA = SYSTEMIC, BM

18
Q

enlarged, painless, cervical lymph nodes

Reed-sternberg cells (OWL’S EYE)

INC ESR, LAP

A

HODGKIN’S

19
Q

78%, lacunar cells IN HODGKIN’S IS WHAT

A

nodular sclerosis

20
Q

ann arbor stage where >2 lymph nodes on one side of the diaphragm

21
Q

ann arbor stage where lymph nodes on both sides of the diaphragm and spleen

22
Q

ann arbor stage where involves single lymph node region

23
Q

Proliferation of malignant lymphocytes that are arrested at certain stages of maturation (neoplasms of B cells and T/NK cells)

A

Non-Hodgkin’s Lymphoma

24
Q

causes skin itching, leading to ulcerative skin tumors

Lymphoid cells show a predilection for the epidermis (epidermotropism) and dermis and may spread to regional lymph nodes.

A

Mycosis Fungoides

25
Q

Leukemic phase of mycosis fungoides

T/NK , resembles monocyte

Disseminated disease with widespread skin involvement (erythroderma), lymphadenopathy, and circulating lymphoma cells

A

Sēzary Syndrome

26
Q

A B-cell neoplasm. t(8,21)

Found most often in children in Africa & new guinea & commonly affects the jaw & facial bones;

A

Burkitt’s Lymphoma

27
Q

Rapid growth and tumor cell death results in “starry sky” appearance of biopsy caused by macrophage cleaning the dead cells

Tumor growth rate is the highest of any tumor (doubling each day)

A

Burkitt’s Lymphoma

28
Q

Incidence of Hodgkin

29
Q

Incidence of non Hodgkin

A

No pattern

30
Q

Spread of Hodgkin

A

Predictable / Stepwise

31
Q

Malignant proliferation of a monoclonal population of plasma cells that may or may not secrete detectable levels of a monoclonal immunoglobulin

A

PLASMA CELL DYSCRASIA

32
Q

↑of one specific type of Ig produced by one neoplastic clone of plasma cells

A

Monoclonal gammopathy

33
Q

Main clinical finding is bone pain (bone lesions/fractures)

Renal failure (BJP toxic to tubular epithelial cells) and bacterial infection are the major cause of death

34
Q

Marked rouleaux; ↑ ESR

Blue background to blood smear

increase gamma band containing an M-spot which is composed of monoclonal CHONs

35
Q

MM + for BJP in urine. True or False.

36
Q

Increased macroglobulins produce “hyperviscosity syndrome” which causes neurologic symptoms, CHF, visual impairment, nose/gum bleeding

ALSO MARKED ROULEAUX AND ESR

A

Waldenström
Macroglobulinemia

37
Q

IMMUNOGLOBULIN IN MM

38
Q

Malignant proliferation of lymphoid cells which produce incomplete Ig

A

Q

resembles myeloma

42
Q

Generally found as an acute terminal stage in multiple myeloma

9 mos survival

A
