Q

ALL

A

Acute, in bone marrow or precursors, abnormal of lymphoblasts, all that exists I. Bone marrow are lymphoblasts. No room for myeloid line to proliferate. So deficiency in myeloid cells, some red blood cells but so squeezed that get liched off on way out of bone which look like tear drop.

Q

AML

A

Myeloid are abnormally proliferating, crows out bc so li has off as exiting so tear drops cells, those myeloid blasts NEVER differentiate into normal cells so you get petechial bleeding.

Q

AML

A

Acute, bone marrow, myelobkastic proliferate, the myeloblasts differentiate into something that proliferates. Ex, an erythroblasts proliferates. auer rods are pathognomonic. Echymosis, petechial. Greater than 30% myelobkasts. Occurs in adults (average age is 67) range is from 0 to elderly.

CML

A

Myelogenous line is abnormally proliferating, Philadelphia chromosome, hypecelukar marriw, elevated eosinophils and basophils, massively increased WBC count (more than 200k), mature myeloid are seen in periphery, average age is 60-65

Q

SVC Syndrome

A

Enlarged head, flushing, vision issues, could have upper extremity edema if it is at the brachicephalic junction.

28
Q

Stridor

A

Louder and high pitched than whiz. Sounds like a whistle. When you breath in.

29
Q

Inspiratory whiz

A

Airway compromise.

30
Q

Why does AML carry a worse prognosis than ALL?

A

Because person can not generate neutrophils or macrophages

31
Q

Methotrexate is used for which one? ALL or AML?

32
Q

Monocytes, macrophages, neutrophils proliferate

33
Q

CML originate in the ———— and not in the ———

A

Periphery, bone marrow

34
Q

Blast crisis

A

Reverts back to being acute leukemia so you’d see greater than 20% blasts in blood and it can be myelobkasts or lymphoblasts and that can lead to bone pain.

35
Q

Greater than 30% myeloblasts

A

Acute leukemia

36
Q

Smudge cells

A

Fragile lymphocytes, with no cell membrane and no nuclear structure, seen in CLL

37
Q

Seen in over the age of 50. Average age of presentation is 70

38
Q

CLL

A

Best prognosis because lymphocytes are functional produce antibodies even though*
Not at normal amount, but well enough.

39
Q

If WBC in CLL becomes too great, then risk of

A

Thrombosis because it clogs vessels.

40
Q

If WBC in CLL becomes too great, then risk of ?

A

Thrombosis because it clogs vessels.

41
Q

Guy in 40s, lymph nodes enlarged. It was huge, and Inside, it was Completely black.
No Sx other than that enlarged LN.

A

Metastatic melanoma from bottom of his foot - acrolentifinous melanoma

45
Q

Hodkin’s age of appearance

A

Bimodal distrobution: 16-44 y more than 55

46
Q

Hodkin’s with Mst RS cells

A

Mixed cellularity, seen in EBV, HIV and elderly population

47
