Q

Why are there smudge cells on blood smear of CLL?

A

CLL cells are more fragile and will be smudged in the process of the smear

A
  • 􏰁Chromosomal abnormalities
    􏰁- Immune deficiencies: AIDS, Post-transplant, rheumatoid arthritis,
  • SLE, Sjogren’s syndrome

20
Q

Endemic Burkitt lymphoma Location

A

Africa

21
Q

MALT lymphoma

A

Mediterranean

22
Q

Adult T-cell leukemia lymphoma (HTLV-I positive)

A

Japan and Caribbean Islands

23
Q

T-cell lymphoma leukemia

A

Asia and Japan

24
Q

What is usually needed for the diagnosis of lymphoma?

A

Tissue or lymph node biopsy

25
Q

What should be negative for lymphoma?

A

MPO

26
Q

What are the main B cell markers?

A

CD19, CD20

27
Q

What are the main T cell markers?

A

CD3

28
Q

What are the main myeloid markers?

A

MPO

29
Q

What does follicular lymphoma present with and who is typically affected?

A

􏰁Constitutes 40% of adult NHLs and it presents with painless lymphadenopathy (generalized)

30
Q

What is seen in follicular lymphoma under microscopy?

A

Small cells with cleaved or irregular nuclei (centrocytes) and larger cells with open nuclear chromatin and several nucleoli (centroblasts)

31
Q

Translocation of Follicular Lymphoma

A

t(14;18) [BCL2/IGH fusion]

32
Q

What does the t(14;18) [BCL2/IGH fusion] in follicular lymphoma cause?

A

Causes BCL2 over-amplification (anti-apoptotic)

33
Q

What are benign reactive follicles?

A

Where B cells normally mature and are selected for

34
Q

How does follicular lymphoma alter the benign reactive follicles?

A

Follicles are all over the lymph nodes - back to back rather than having a lot of space

35
Q

What does the detection of BCL2 show up as in the stain?

A

The follicles will stain a brown color

36
Q

Who is mantle cell lymphoma typically seen in?

A

Older males

37
Q

What biomarkers will be seen in mantle cell lymphoma?

A

CD19, CD20, CD5 positive

38
Q

Translocation of Mantle Cell Lymphoma

A

t(11;14) [Cyclin D1–IGH fusion]

39
Q

What does the t(11;14) [Cyclin D1–IGH fusion] translocation cause?

A

Causing Cyclin D1 over-amplification (increased proliferation)

40
Q

Who is the patient population of Burkitt’s lymphoma?

A

• Children or young adults; aggressive disease

41
Q

What are the sites of the tumors in Burkitt’s lymphoma?

A

• Mandible (endemic-African), abdomen (non-endemic)

42
Q

What is the microscopy of Burkitt’s lymphoma described as?

A

“Starry sky pattern”

43
Q

Translocation of Burkitt’s lymphoma

A

t(8;14) [MYC- IGH fusion]

44
Q

What is the result of the t(8;14)[MYC-IGH fusion]?

A

􏰁Causes MYC over-amplification (increased proliferation)
