Overproduction of immature or mature cells in BM or PB. Malignant cells easily pass the BBB
^ WBC count w/ STTL
Leukemia
Solid malignant tumors of the lymph nodes. Distinct cell type is the Lymphocyte
Lymphoma
Short duration, Immature cell forms in BM and PB. ^ in total WBC count
Acute Leukemias
Long duration,mature cell forms in BM and PB. elevated to lower tha normal WBC count
Chronic Leukemias
enzyme found in Primary granules of Eos. Neut. and Monocyte. Used to differentiate blast of AML from ALL
MPO
Stains sterols, most sensitive stain for granulocytic prescursor
SBB
most common form of childhood leukemia (FAB, use of immunologic markers)
ALL
70% of childhood ALL
L1
70% of Adult ALL
L2
rare in children and adults. Burkitt type of Leukemia
L3
most common type of Leukemia in th Elderly.
Characterized by persistent Lymphocytosis, ^ Smudge cells and Reider cell
CLL
AML, minimally differentiated
MPO/ SBB (-)
M0
AML, w/o maturation
may demonstrate Auer rods
M1
AML, With maturation
most common sybtype of AML
M2
Acute Promyelocytic Leukemia
Associated w/ DIC, Faggot cells
M3
