Leukocyte Disorders 2 Flashcards
generalized neoplastic proliferation or
accumulation of leukopoietic cells with or without
involvement of the peripheral blood
leukemia
group of malignant disorders affecting blood and
blood forming tissue of the bone marrow, lymph system and spleen
leukemia
the most common form of leukemia in children
characterized by a rapid increase in the numbers of immature blood cells
acute leukemia
characterized by the excessive
build-up of relatively mature, but
still abnormal, white blood cells
chronic leukemia
the predominant cells are all cells coming from
common myeloid progenitors
Granulocytic or Myelocytic Leukemia
common lymphoid progenitors
Lymphocytic/Lymphoid Leukemia
presence of immature or abnormal cells with WBC count greater than 15 x 10⁹/L
leukemic leukemia
with immature or abnormal cells in peripheral
blood and with WBC count less than 15 x 10⁹/L
SUBLEUKEMIC LEUKEMIA
with no immature cells in the peripheral blood and with WBC count less than 15 x 10⁹/L
ALEUKEMIC LEUKEMIA
a type of myeloblastic leukemia
malignant green colored tumor of myeloid cases
formation of tumors originating from periosteum, especially of skull, orbits, nasal sinuses, ribs and vertebrae
chloroma
a focal malignant tumor
composed of myeloblast or
early myeloid precursors
occurring outside of the
bone marrow
MYELOBLASTOMA
cancer of plasma cells
myeloma
proliferation of one of
the cell types of the
lymphopoietic reticular
tissue
lymphoma
is a reactive but excessive leukocytosis
characterized by the presence of immature cells in the peripheral blood
increase in the total of leukocyte count in which
mimics leukemia
leukamoid reaction
is a neoplastic clonal MPD that commonly manifests with panmyelosis in the bone marrow and increases in RBC, granulocytes, and platelets in the peripheral blood
polycythemia vera
presence of JAK 2 (janus kinase 2)
JAK 2 is associated with bone
marrow disorder caused by the
production of too many blood
cells
polycythemia vera
