leukemias, lymphomas and lymphoproliferative disorders Flashcards
what is mylodysplastic syndrome?
primarily effects men and occus with median age ~65
what type of leukemia is offten associated with DIC
acute promyelocytic leukemia with auer rods - release of auer rods is prothrombotic
DIC has long PT and PTT
what is the translocation for APL?
t(15;17)
what is a aur rod made of?
cyrstalized myeloperoxidase
what leukemia is most commonly seen in older adults (5th-6th decade)
AML
what is the consequence of t(15;17)?
results in a disruption of retinoic acid receptor (RAR) required for myeloblast maturation
ATRA is treatment for APL because it induces maturation of neoplastic cells
7 yr old Down syndrome pt has leukemia. What is it?
ALL
3 yr old downsyndrome pt has leukemia. What is it?
Acute megakaryoblastic leukemia
pt has leukemic infiltration of the gums. What caused this?

Langerhans cell histiocytosis
proliferative dissorder of dendritic (langerhans) cells

ALL
15-39
AML
40-59
AML + CML
CML has >30% blasts
> 60
chronic lymphocytic leukemia
5 yr old with lymphoblasts that are CD10 positive and positive to TdT.
acute lymphoblastic leukemia/lymphoma
