Q

Hodgkin Lymphoma

bimodal age involvement 
low grade fever, night sweats, weight loss 
Classical Types
1. Lymphocyte rich (best prognosis)
2. Mixed cellularity
3. Lymphocyte depleted
4. Nodular sclerosis 
(CD 15, CD 30)
5. Nodular lymphocyte(CD 20, 45)

more RS–>worse prognosis
RS secrete cytokines–>stimulate reactive cells that make up majority of the tumor mass

  • usually older adults
  • clinically aggressive
  • Germinal center B cell or activated b cell(worse)
  • 30% arise from follicular lymphoma t (14:18)

((14;18) or Bcl6) + Myc –>double hit

Burkitt Lymphoma
Medium Cell

A

t(8;14) –>over expression of c-myc–>increased proliferation

Sporadic: abdomen or pelvis
Endemic: Mandible, Africa, latent EBV

Rapid growth–>cell death–>macrophages “tingible bodies” clean up—>starry sky pattern

Q

Non hodgkin Lymphoma
Mantle Cell Lymphoma
Small Cell

A

4% of NHLs, older males
CD 5, CD20 B cells
t (11;14) –>over amplification of Cyclin D1 –>increased cel proliferation

17
Q

Non hodgkin Lymphoma
Marginal Zone Lymphoma
Small Cell

A

associated with chronic inflammatory states

  • hashimoto’s, sjogren’s, H pylori
  • may regress w treatment (e.g. H pylori_)
18
Q

Non Hodgkin Lymphoma

T-cell NOS

A

Lymphadenopathy, eosinophilia, pruritus, fever weight loss
-lack of specific histological features (wastebasket diagnosis)
CD3+ with loss of other pan T cell markers and genetic analysis

19
Q

Plasma Cell Neoplasm

Multiple Myeloma

A 
Chronic monoclonal plasma cell proliferation dependent on IL-6
CRAB
hyperCalcemia
Renal insufficiency
Anemia
Bone lytic lesions/Back pain

Increased risk of infection (#1 cause of death)

  • Elevated serum protein b/c increased monoclonal IgG or IgA!!!
  • Blood smear shows rouleaux formation

Diagnosis: Monoclonal M spike

Frequent cytogenetic abnormalities: FGFR3, Cyclin D1 and Cyclin D3 genes

Median age: 70 years

Bence jones proteinuria causing renal insufficiency
Light chain toxic to tubular epithelium. Amyloidosis of AL type

20
Q

Plasma cell neoplasm

Monoclonal Gammopathy of Undetermined Significance (MGUS)

A

asymptomatic precursor to multiple myeloma
1-2% go on to develop MM each year

-most common plasma cell dyscrasia (3% persons older than 50 years old)

21
Q

Plasma cell neoplasm

Waldenstrom macroglobulinemia

A 
M spike=IgM
hyperviscosity of blood--> hyperviscosity syndrome
-headaches
-blurred vision or visual loss
-epistaxis
-leg cramps
-confusional episodes 
-NO lytic bone lesions
22
Q

Chronic Myelogenous Leukemia

A

Peak age 45-85
t (9;22)–>bcr-abl
fusion with tyrosine kinase activity
increased neoplastic granulocytic precursors
-Mutation in pluripotent stem cell that can produce myeloid or lymphoid cells

Peripheral blood smear= increase neutrophils, metamyelocytes, basophils

Enlarging spleen suggests transition of ALL or AML

Tx=imatinib (inhibits bcr-abl tyrosine kinase)

Compare to leukemoid rxn
CML: immature and mature cells, white cell to red ratio off, marked splenomegaly

Leukemoid rxn: +leukocyte alkaline phosphatase, normal basophils, no t(9;22)

23
Q

Polycythemia vera

A

JAK2 point mutation

  • low EPO
  • elevated hematocrit
  • normal PaO2
  • increase # of mast cells–>itching after showering

-hyperviscosity of blood–>claudication, ischemic digits, visual disturbances, digital extremity erythromelalgia (burning with discoloration), budd-chiari syndrome(abdominal pain, ascites, liver enlargement) , 70% hypertension

Tx=phlebotomy

24
Q

Essential Thromboyctosis

A

JAK2, CALR, and MPL point mutations
-proliferation of predominatly megakaryocytic lineage cells
Symptoms: thrombosis/hemorrhage

No propensity to hyperuricemia/gout with ET because no nucleus present in platelets

25
Q

Primary Myelofibrosis

A

Jak2, CALR, MPL point mutations
Initially hypercellular marrow

Later atypical megakaryocytic hyperplasia– fibroblast proliferation–>collagen deposition in BM–> necessity of extramedullary hematopoiesis–>dacrocytes (tear drop)

symptoms: severe fatigue, splenomegaly and hepatomegaly–>early satiety and abdominal discomfort, anemia

Tx: ruxolitinib (Jak2 inhibitor)
