Histiocytic Flashcards
IHC markers for cutaneous histiocytoma?
E-cadherin
CD1a+, CD11c+, MHCII+. CD4-, Thy1/CD90-, Ecad+
Langerhans cells
IHC markers for histiocytic sarcoma?
CD1+, CD11c+, MHCII+, CD4-, Thy1-, Ecad-
Differentiate from histiocytoma because Ecad-
Also Iba1
(Interstitial DC)
IHC markers for cutaneous histiocytosis?
CD1+, CD11c+, MHCII+, CD4+, Thy1+
IHC markers for systemic histiocytosis?
CD1-, CD11c+, MHCII+, CD4+, Thy1+
IHC markers for hemophagocytic histiocytic sarcoma?
CD1 (low), CD11c-, CD11d+, MHCII+
Unique one is the CD11d+
What cell type mediates regression in histiocytomas?
CD8+ αβ T-cells
Signalment typical for histiocytoma?
Often dogs <3 yrs, cranial portion of body; often spontaneously regress in 1-2 months
What is the general outcome for dogs with LN metastatic histiocytoma treated with surgery?
Favorable - can spontaneously regress even if metastatic
Faller JSAP 2016
What is the major differentiating factor between the two reactive histiocytoses?
cutaneous histiocytosis - Limited to skin and SQ;
systemic histiocytosis - dermal, SQ, LN, BM, spleen, liver, lung, MM can be involved (nasal/ocular)
Both are CD4+ (differentiates from histiocytomas and HS)
How do outcomes for the two reactive histiocytoses vary?
Cutaneous - responds to immunosuppressive therapy (steroids)
Systemic - often prolonged but refractory to tx, most dogs euthanized due to relapse or failure to respond
What is the MST for PAHS treated with amputation alone? Metastatic rate for PAHS?
MST 6 months, metastatic rate 91%
What is the ORR of canine HS to CCNU? Does pred improve response?
46% RR with gross dz
remission duration 85d, MST for responders 172d
pred does not improve response
What is the ORR of canine HS to DOX/CCNU?
58% (Cannon JSAP paper)
What are 3 negative prognostic factors for HS?
- localized vs. disseminated (PAHS may be better)
- hemophagocytic variant more aggressive
- anemia, thrombocytopenia
What 3 genes are differentially expressed in visceral vs. soft tissue HS in flat coat retrievers? (Boerkamp 2014)
C6 unregulated in visceral vs. soft tissue form
CLEC12A down regulated in visceral
CCL5 down regulated in visceral
What medical intervention is associated with DECREASED risk of HS in Berners? (Ruple 2016)
Prescribe anti-inflammatory meds for orthopedic dz
orthopedic conditions –> more likely to develop HS
What are the unique MRI characteristics of histiocytic sarcoma in the brain? (Tamura 2009)
Tamura - can be confused for meningioma (dural tail, broad base) or encephalitis; doesn’t appear to have unique features
Which bisphosphonate/chemo combinations may be beneficial in canine HS? (Hafeman 2011)
Zoledronate + DOX enhanced cell kill (zoledronate increased cell uptake of DOX)
Clodronate + vincristine synergistic cell kill
What is the cell of origin of hemophagocytic HS?
Macrophage
- more aggressive form, invariably involves spleen and can also involve liver, BM, LN, and/or lung
What are most common hematologic findings in dogs with hemophagocytic HS?
regenerative anemia, thrombocytopenia, hypoalbuminemia, hypocholesterolemia
