Leukemias Flashcards
Leukemoid rxn
Left shift (Increase in band cells) Alk phos would be increased but not in CML!!!
Leukemia
Low leukocyte alk phos
Hodgkin’s lymphoma characteristics
Reed-sternberg cells Local lymph nodes B symptoms May be associated with EBV Less reed cells, better outcome PET scan best for staging
Brentaximab also used for advanced
Early- ABVD- Adriamycin, Bleomycin, Vinblastine and Dacarbazinefor all stages
Non hodgkins lymphoma characteristics
Widespread lymph nodes
B symptoms not as common
May be associated with HIV
Prognosis varies widely
Reed sternberg cell
Owl eyes CD30/CD15 positive CD45 negatve, only lymphoprolifrative disorder that is negative. Lymphomas always do an excisional biopsy Under somatic hypermutation
Hodgkin lymphoma types
Nodular sclerosis
Mixed cellularity
Lymphocyte depletion
Lymphocyte predominance (CD 20+)
Nodular sclerosis
Most common in women
Mediastinal, supraclavicular, and lower cervical nodes
Good prognosis (low reed sternberg count)
Can see collagen banding on biopsy
Mixed cellularity
Intermediate prognosis
Is associated with EBV
Lymphocytes and reed sternberg about equal
Lymphocyte predominance
Mostly men, lots of lymphocytes, good prognosis
Lymphocyte depletion
EBV associated
Poor prognosis
Hodgkins lymphoma staging
1) 1 LN
2) More than one LN, same side as diaphragm
3) More than one LN, both sides of diaphragm
4) Outside of LN system
Burkitt lymphoma
B- cell Africa- Jaw US- abd (8:14 2:8 8:22) c-myc translocation Starry sky pattern
Diffuse large well differentiated lymphocytic lymphoma
Older Patients (Most common non hodgkins)
Lymph/hepatosplenomegaly
Bone marrow almost always involved
5-7 year survival
Mantle cell lymphoma
t(11;14) IgH to bcl-1
Lymph/hepatospleenomegaly with fever and night sweats
Poor prognosis—3 years
CD5+
Follicular lymphoma
Slower growing
t(14;18) IgH to bcl2 so less apoptosis
May be associated with immunodificiency states
Adult t-cell leukemia/lymphoma
Mosly japan, some africa
Lymph/hepatospleenomgaly, skin lesion, and hypercalcemia
Cause: HTLV1
Cutaneous T-cell lymphomas
Mycosis fungoides- Inflammation, plaque, tumor
Sezary syndrome- Once its in the bloodstream.
