Lecture - Module 6 Flashcards
Generally characterized by the presence of leukocytosis with an increased number of mature lymphocytes, lymphocytosis, on a peripheral blood film
CHRONIC LEUKEMIAS
characterized by an accumulation of lymphocytes.
Malignant lymphoproliferative disorders
Most common form of leukemia in adults in Western countries but it is very rare in far Eastern countries
CHRONIC LYMPHOCYTIC LEUKEMIA
SMALL LYMPHOCYTIC LYMPHOMA
Neoplasms composed of small B lymphocytes in the peripheral blood, bone marrow, spleen, and lymph nodes, mixed with prolymphocytes and paraimmunoblasts forming proliferation centers in tissue infiltrates.
CHRONIC LYMPHOCYTIC LEUKEMIA
SMALL LYMPHOCYTIC LYMPHOMA
Accounts for almost 7% of non-Hodgkin lymphomas (NHLs) in biopsies.
CHRONIC LYMPHOCYTIC LEUKEMIA
SMALL LYMPHOCYTIC LYMPHOMA
CHRONIC LYMPHOCYTIC LEUKEMIA / SMALL LYMPHOCYTIC LYMPHOMA median age of onset
65 years old
This form of leukemia is rare before age 20 and uncommon before age 50.
CHRONIC LYMPHOCYTIC LEUKEMIA / SMALL LYMPHOCYTIC LYMPHOMA
Classic CLL is usually a what type of disorder
B-cell disorder
a biologically and clinically heterogeneous hematologic malignancy characterized by a gradually progressive accumulation of morphologically mature B lymphocytes in the blood, bone marrow, and lymphatic tissues.
B-CLL
B-CLL characterized as
CD5+ CD19+ CD23+ monoclonal B cells
most consistent finding which is present in approximately 50% of patients in CLL and SLL
trisomy of chromosome 12
Chromosomal alterations in CLL/SLL
11q deletion
13q deletion
17p deletion
trisomy of chromosome 12 → most consistent finding which is present in approximately 50% of patients
translocation of chromosomes 8 and 14 → associated with B-CLL
translocation of chromosomes 9 and 22 → observed in non- T and non-B types
Chromosomal alterations in CLL/SLL associated with B-CLL
translocation of chromosomes 8 and 14
Chromosomal alterations in CLL/SLL most consistent finding which is present in approximately 50% of patients
trisomy of chromosome 12
Chromosomal alterations in CLL/SLL observed in non- T and non-B types
translocation of chromosomes 9 and 22
Displays the classic surface immunoglobulin (SIg) markers.
B-Cells
B-Cells displays the classic surface immunoglobulin (SIg) markers.
CD19
CD20
CD24
CD5
Abnormal findings discovered on a complete blood count (CBC)
Common symptoms include malaise, low-grade fever, and night sweats.
Hepatosplenomegaly is also frequently present.
CHRONIC LYMPHOCYTIC LEUKEMIA
SMALL LYMPHOCYTIC LYMPHOMA
CLL/SLL laboratory data
30 to 200 × 109/L
1/3 of patients, the total leukocyte count is greater than 100 × 109/L.
Absolute lymphocytosis, 80% or 90% small lymphocytes.
hypogammaglobulinemia.
Uncommon chronic lymphoproliferative disorder of the B-lymphocyte type.
More common in males than in females.
It has been suggested that a locus on the X chromosome might be involved in HCL
HAIRY CELL LEUKEMIA
appearance of fine, hair-like, irregular cytoplasmic projections that are characteristic of lymphocytes in this disease
HCL
The cytochemical features of HCL include a
strong acid phosphatase reaction
not inhibited by tartaric acid or tartrate-resistant acid phosphatase (TRAP) stain
Following ________, enzyme activity in the hairy cell may be TRAP negative
interferon therapy
cells display strong SIg. A. Hairy Cells Leukemia B. CLL/SLL C. Prolymphocytic leukemia D. Chronic leukemia
A
Immunological Markers for hairy cell leukemia
CD19+, CD20+, CD22+, CD24+, and CD25+
Immunological Markers for hairy cell leukemia recognizes what receptor
interleukin-2 (Tac) receptor
More aggressive type of HCL and has different morphological characteristics than typical HCL.
HAIRY CELL LEUKEMIA VARIANT
Cells are smaller than the typical HCL cell with a central round nucleus, prominent nucleoli, a larger nuclear cytoplasmic ratio, and basophilic cytoplasm with occasional cytoplasmic projections.
HAIRY CELL LEUKEMIA VARIANT
Differential diagnosis of vHCL from typical HCL can be made by
cytochemical staining (TRAP) and immunophenotyping
Malignancy of B prolymphocytes affecting blood, bone marrow, and spleen.
Characterized by a large number of small lymphocytes with scant cytoplasm and the immature features of prolymphocytes in the peripheral blood.
Leukocytosis can exceed 100 × 109/L.
PROLYMPHOCYTIC LEUKEMIA
In PROLYMPHOCYTIC LEUKEMIA, prolymphocytes must exceed _______ of lymphoid cells in the peripheral blood.
55%
