Heme 1.7 Lymphoproliferative and Myeloproliferative Disorders Flashcards
- Repeated phlebotomy in patients with PV may lead to the development of:
A. Folic acid deficiency
B. Sideroblastic anemia
C. IDA
D. Hemolytic anemia
C. IDA
- In ET, the PLTs are:
A. Increased in number and functionally abnormal
B. Normal in number and functionally abnormal
C. Decreased in number and functional
D. Decreased in number and functionally abnormal
A. Increased in number and functionally abnormal
- Which of the following cells is considered pathogenomonic for Hodgkin disease?
A. Niemann–Pick cells
B. Reactive lymphocytes
C. Flame cells
D. Reed–Sternberg (RS) cells
D. Reed–Sternberg (RS) cells
- In myelofibrosis, the characteristic abnormal RBC morphology is that of:
A. Target cells
B. Schistocytes
C. Teardrop-shaped cells
D. Ovalocytes
C. Teardrop-shaped cells
- PV is characterized by:
A. Increased plasma volume
B. Pancytopenia
C. Decreased O2 saturation
D. Absolute increase in total RBC mass
D. Absolute increase in total RBC mass
- In PV, what is characteristically seen in peripheral blood?
A. Panmyelosis
B. Pancytosis
C. Pancytopenia
D. Panhyperplasia
B. Pancytosis
PV is a myeloproliferative disorder characterized by uncontrolled proliferation of erythroid precursors. However, production of all cell lines is usually increased. Panhyperplasia is a term used to describe the cellularity of bone marrow in PV.
- Features of secondary polycythemia include all of the following except:
A. Splenomegaly
B. Decreased O2 saturation
C. Increased RBC mass
D. Increased erythropoietin
A. Splenomegaly
Splenomegaly is a feature of PV but not characteristic of secondary polycythemia. The
RBC mass is increased in both primary polycythemia (PV) and secondary polycythemia. Erythropoietin is increased, and O2 saturation is decreased in secondary polycythemia.
- Erythrocytosis in relative polycythemia occurs because of:
A. Decreased arterial O2 saturation
B. Decreased plasma volume of circulating blood
C. Increased erythropoietin levels
D. Increased erythropoiesis in bone marrow
B. Decreased plasma volume of circulating blood
- Leukocyte alkaline phosphatase (LAP) staining performed on a patient gives the following results:
10(0)
48(1+)
38(2+)
3(3+)
1(4+)
Calculate the LAP score.
A. 100
B. 117
C. 137
D. 252
C. 137
One hundred mature neutrophils are counted and scored. The LAP score is calculated as follows:
(the number of 1+ cells × 1) + (2+ cells × 2) + (3+ cells × 3) + (4+ cells × 4).
That is, 48 + 76 + 9 + 4 = 137. The reference range is approximately 20 to 130.
- CML is distinguished from leukemoid reaction by which of the following?
A. CML: low LAP; leukemoid: high LAP
B. CML: high LAP; leukemoid: low LAP
C. CML: high WBC; leukemoid: normal WBC
D. CML: high WBC; leukemoid: higher WBC
A. CML: low LAP; leukemoid: high LAP
- Which of the following occurs in idiopathic myelofibrosis (IMF)?
A. Myeloid metaplasia
B. Leukoerythroblastosis
C. Fibrosis of bone marrow
D. All of these options
D. All of these options
- What influence does the Philadelphia (Ph1) chromosome have on the prognosis of patients with CML?
A. It is not predictive
B. The prognosis is better if Ph1 is present
C. The prognosis is worse if Ph1 is present
D. The disease usually transforms into AML when Ph1 is present
B. The prognosis is better if Ph1 is present
- Which of the following is (are) commonly found in CML?
A. Many teardrop-shaped cells
B. Intense LAP staining
C. A decrease in granulocytes
D. An increase in basophils
D. An increase in basophils
- In which of the following conditions does LAP show the least activity?
A. Leukemoid reactions
B. IMF
C. PV
D. CML
D. CML
- A striking feature of the peripheral blood of a patient with CML is:
A. Profusion of bizarre blast cells
B. Normal number of typical granulocytes
C. Presence of granulocytes at different stages of development
D. Pancytopenia
C. Presence of granulocytes at different stages of development
