Lab 2: Leukemia and Mimics Flashcards
ID
Normal bone marrow biopsy
What causes too few cells (cytopenias)
Decreased production or increased destruction
What causes too many cells (cytosis)
Increased production
What is a relative versus absolute increase/decrease
Relative - proportion is higher/lower than normal
absolute - total number is higher/lower than normal
Major adverse consequence of neutropenia
Susceptible to bacterial and fungal infections
What determines acute versus chronic leukemia?
Acute if blasts are greater than 20%
Chronic blasts are less than 20%
ID
Döhle bodies; leukemoid reaction with toxic granulation
ID
Reactive lymphocytes - abundant cytoplasm, small vacuoles, and oval dented nuclei
Tumor cells mostly in
bone marrow and blood.

cells
Leukemia
Tumor cells mostly in
lymph node/tissue.
Lymphoid cells, by
