Hodgkin Lymphoma - Krafts Flashcards
What are the key characteristic cells common in Hodgkin Lymphoma?
Reed-Sternberg Cells (Large Nucleoli = Owl’s Eye) => Malignant
What are the characteristics of Hodgkin Lymphoma?
Contiguous Spread
Younger Patients (20s)
Good Prognosis
What are the 5 subtypes of Hodgkin Lymphoma?
1) Nodular Lymphocyte-Predominance Hodgkin Lymphoma
2) Nodular Sclerosis
3) Lymphocyte Rich
4) Mixed Cellularity
5) Lymphocyte Depletion
Why is Nodular Lymphocyte-Predominance Hodgkin Lymphoma non-classical in terms of subtyping?
Only one lymph node involved
YOUNG patients
GREAT prognosis
What are the characteristics of Nodular Lymphocyte-Predominance Hodgkin Lymphoma?
Asymtomatic young male with cervical lymphadenopathy
Good Prognosis in early stage
B-Cell Origin
Popcorn Cells
What are the characteristics of Nodular Sclerosis Hodgkin Lymphoma?
MOST COMMON subtype
Good Prognosis in early stage
What are the key characteristic cells common in Nodular Lympho-cyte Predominance Hodgkin Lymphoma?
Popcorn Cells (abnormal Reed-Sternberg cells)
What are the key characteristic cells common in Nodular Sclerosis Hodgkin Lymphoma?
Lacunar Cells (cytoplasm retracts with fixation)
What are the characteristics of Mixed Cellularity Hodgkin Lymphoma?
Worse Prognosis due to dissemination upon presentation (later diagnosis)
Mixture of Background Cells (Eosinophils, Plasma Cells, Histiocytes)
What are the key characteristic cells common in Mixed Cellularity Hodgkin Lymphoma?
Classic Reed-Sternberg Cells
What are the characteristics of Lymphocyte-Rich Hodgkin Lymphoma?
Uncommon
Usually localized at presentation
What are the key characteristic cells common in Lymphocyte-Rich Hodgkin Lymphoma?
Popcorn Cells
What are the characteristics of Lymphocyte Depletion Hodgkin Lymphoma?
Rare
Disseminated at Presentation
Collagen or Reticulin Background
What are the key characteristic cells common in Lymphocyte Depletion Hodgkin Lymphoma?
Classic Reed-Sternberg Cells
What is the treatment for Hodgkin Lymphoma?
Surgery
