108
Q

Which lineage most affected in polycythemia?

A

Erythroid

109
Q

How to tell essential polycythemia from secondary polycythemia?

A

Essential = DECREASED EPO (trying to reduce the # of RBCs being cranked out by BM) Secondary = increased EPO (trying to compensate for, as an example, high altitude)

110
Q

Generalized pruritis after hot shower:

A

Polycythemia (heat causes histamine release from excess # of mast cells in polycythemic pt)

111
Q

Prognosis of polycythemia

A

Progresses to MDS, AML, myelofibrosis

112
Q

Tx of polycythemia

A

Phlebotomy to deplete iron = less RBC production

113
Q

Cause of thrombocythemia

A

Excess of dysplastic/abnormal platelets from megs

114
Q

Tx thrombocythemia

A

Hydoxyurea (ribonucleotide reductase inhibitor)

115
Q

EPO and platelet levels in thrombocythemia

A

EPO = normal Platelet = extremely elevated

116
Q

Bone marrow with large, multilineage cells

A

CML

117
Q

Disease that is both a leukemia and a myeloproliferative disorder

A

CML

118
Q

How do you know when CML pt is in blast crisis?

A

Smear with >20% blasts. This will occur in all untreated patients eventually.

119
Q

How to tell CML vs leukomoid reaction

A

Leukomoid will much more elevated LAP (leukocyte alk phos)

120
Q

Tx for CML? Cure?

A

Tx = imatinib Cure = allogenic HSCT

121
Q

What’s the fusion gene in CML? Class I or II?

A

BCR-ABL conferring tyrosine kinase activity (why imatinib works). Class I (proliferation).

122
Q

Will CML blasts have auer rods?

A

NO! Feature of AML!

123
Q
A

AML

124
Q

There is one leukemia associated with eosinophiia and one myeloproliferative disorder. Name them.

A

Leukemia = Acute myelomonocytic (inv 16)

Myeloproliferative = Mastocytosis

125
Q

Three heme malignancies associated with JAK2 mutations.

A

Primary myelofibrosis

Essential thrombocythemia

Polycythemia vera

126
Q

Why muscle wasting in primary myelofibrosis?

A

Cytokine-like symptom

127
Q

What type of collagen is deposited in bone marrow in primary myelofibrosis? What kind of stain is used?

A

Type 3 collagen

Reticulin stain for fibers

128
Q

Heme malignancy with decreased EPO?

A

Polycythemia vera

129
Q

Bone marrow with large, clustered megs

A

Essential thrombocythemia

130
Q

TPO level in essential thrombocythemia

A

Normal (megs are pumping out more platelets, not TPO response)

131
Q

What is CMML? Cell type? Labs?

A

Chronic myelomonocytic leukemia; this is a cross between myeloproliferative and myelodysplastic syndrome

Monocytes, myelocytes, weird hybrids between the two

Leukocytosis

132
Q

PDGF-R mutation

A

Mastocytosis or CMML

133
Q

Does mastocytosis often present in bone marrow, lymph nodes, or tissues?

A

Tissues (although the bone marrow is also involved in most cases - cool story, Strom)

134
Q

What “cell” is elevated: PV? ET? Myelofibrosis?

A

PV = RBC

ET = platelet

Myelofibrosis = platelet

135
Q

Two patients with leukocytosis, fatigue, weight loss, night sweats. How can tell which has an infection and which has a myeloproliferative disorder?

A

Infection = toxic granulations and left shift with progressively fewer immature cells

MPD = More myelocytes than metamyelocytes (“myeloid bulge”); possible cytogenetic findings (i.e. t9:22 = CML)

136
Q

WBC: 40 K/ul

PMNS: 35

Metas: 15

Myelos: 5

Sepsis or MPD?

A

Sepsis

Left shift

137
Q

WBC: 40 K/ul

PMNs: 26

Metas: 10

Myelos: 20

Sepsis or MPD?

A

MPD

Myeloid bulge

138
Q

What’s going on during the accelerated phase of CML?

A

Increased number of blasts

(but not quite as bad as blasts phase, which is like an acute leukemia)

139
Q

Once CML confirmed via RT-PCR analysis of BCR-ABL protein, why must a bone marrow biopsy still be performed?

A

Must make sure CML is not progressing to accelerated or blast phase

140
Q

Why does a mutation in JAK2 cause problems with RBCs and platelets?

A

TPO and EPO are upstream of the JAK2 pathways. So, for example, if the MPL thrombopoeitin receptor of megs is mutated, the same phenoytpe is observed as when JAK2 is mutated (ET).

141
Q

Which MPDs are caused by translocations?

A

CML, Mastocytosis, CMML

142
Q

Which MPDs are caused by point mutations?

A

ET, PV

143
Q

What is SCF?

A

A mitogen involved in mast cell growth and migration

144
Q

Most common presentation of mastocytosis

A

Urticaria pigmentosa (itchy skin lesions) in a kid

145
Q

What is tryptase?

A

Mediator secreted by normal and hyperactive mast cells

(Tryptase level elevated in mastocytosis)

146
Q

(T/F): Mastocytosis usually spreads to bone marrow, the most common site of systemic involvement.

False - would be true but mastocytosis usually does NOT spread beyond the skin (urticaria pigmentosa)

147

Mastocytosis - this is the SCL receptor (remember: SCL is involved in mast cell growth and migration)

If EPO low, PV

If EPO high, secondary polycythemia

PV will have elevated RBCs rather than platelets and will have HTN in addition to thrombosis

ET/myelofibrosis have weird looking megs, PV does not

151
Q

How to tell ET from myelofibrosis?

A

Myelofibrosis will have more reticulin fibers on reticulin stain than ET

164
Q
A

Primary myelofibrosis (tear drops)

165
Q
A

Primary myelofibrosis (reticulin stain of type 3 collagen)

166
Q
A

Primary myelofibrosis (tear drops, type III collagen in BM, reticulin fibers)

167
Q

Why do patients with myelofibrosis have hepatosplenomegaly?

A

Fibrosis of BM necessitates extramedullary hematopoeisis

168
Q

Mononuclear megs

A

MDS (del 5q)

169
Q

MDS more common in men or women? Tx?

A

Women

Lenalidomide

170
Q

Lobulated granulocytes

A

Refractory cytopenia with multilineage dysplasia

171
Q

RAEB1 vs RAEB2

A

RAEB1 = blasts 5-9%

RAEB2 = blasts 10-19%

(blasts > 20% would be an acute leukemia)

172
Q
A

Polycythemia vera (excessive RBCs)

173
Q

Immunophenotype of refractory anemia with excessive blasts (RAEB)

A

CD34+/CD117+

174
Q

RAEB vs acute leukemia

A

Acute leukemia due to translocation, while RAEB due to expansion of cell with mutation that takes over as new cell line

175
Q

Where does iron reside in refractory anemia with ring sideroblasts?

A

Mitochondria, which make a circle around nucleus

176
Q

Prognosis: Refractory cytopenia with multilineage dysplasia

A

Poor, ~30 months

177
Q

Prognosis: RAEB

A

Poor (“pre-leukemia”)

178
