Heme Onc Flashcards
cell marker for hematopoetic stem cell
CD34
lines of zahn
thrombosis (fibrin lines with RBCs in between them)
marker for immature neutrophils
decreased Fc and decreased CD16 (seen in neutrophilia)
how to differentiate between AML and ALL
ALL is tdt+ (terminal deoxynuceltidyl transferyase)
distinguishing feacture of AML histologically
Auer rods (crystallized myeloperioxidase)
What syndrome increases risk of ALL and AML
down syndrome
Down syndrome after 5
ALL
Down syndrome before 5
AML
Where does ALL like to spread
CSF and testes
t(12;21)
better prognosis for ALL, responsive to therapy
t(9’22)
Philadelphia chromosome seen in CML (most commonly) and ALL (less commonly) poor prognosis
BCR-ABL hybrid, upregulator of TYROSINE KINASE
thymic mass teenager, medistinum, CD 2-8 positive
T ALL
t(15;17)
APML, deficient retinoic acid receptor which will lead to accumulation of promyelocytes…responds to all trans retinoic acid (m3 AML)
smudge cells
CLL
Richter transformation
CLL can transform into aggressive lymphoma (most likely diffuse large b cell lymphoma)
