CLASSIFICATIONS OF LEUKEMIA
1 Chronologic (based on natural history)
2 Cytologic (based on predominant cell type)
3 Classification based on functional capacity of
release mechanism
4 Classification based on localized proliferation of cells of the same type
Chronologic CLASSIFICATION OF LEUKEMIA is based on?
natural history
Cytologic CLASSIFICATION OF LEUKEMIA is based on?
predominant cell type
the cells of precursor B-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia are all
immature cells
CONDITIONS ASSOCIATED WITH CHRONOLOGIC (BASED ON NATURAL HISTORY)
- ACUTE LEUKEMIA
- CHRONIC LEUKEMIA
- SUB-ACUTE LEUKEMIA
The most common form of leukemia in
children. Characterized by a rapid increase in the numbers of immature blood cells
—> rapidly progressing, lasting for several days
to six months
—> very fast
ACUTE LEUKEMIA
Acute leukemia is characterized by?
a rapid increase in the numbers of immature blood cells
Acute leukemia is rapidly progressing, lasting for about?
several days to six months
—It is characterized by the excessive build up of
relatively mature, but still abnormal, white
blood cells
—mostly occurs in older people, but can
theoretically occur in any age group
—most patients will live a minimum of 1 or 2
years or more
CHRONIC LEUKEMIA
CHRONIC LEUKEMIA is characterized by the
excessive build up of relatively mature, but still abnormal, white blood cells
CHRONIC LEUKEMIA mostly occurs in
older people, but can theoretically occur in any age group
IN CHRONIC LEUKEMIA most patients will live a minimum of
minimum of 1 or 2 years or more
a type of chronologic leukemia that last from 2 to 6 months or even 12 months
SUB-ACUTE LEUKEMIA
ONSET OF ACUTE LEUKEMIA
Abrupt
ONSET OF CHRONIC LEUKEMIA
Insidious
Death of px with ACUTE LEUKEMIA
w/in months
Death of px with CHRONIC LEUKEMIA
w/in years
White cell count of ACUTE LEUKEMIA

White cell count of CHRONIC
LEUKEMIA
Elevated
Appearance of cells in ACUTE LEUKEMIA
Blasts (immature)
Appearance of cells in CHRONIC LEUKEMIA
Mature
Neutropenia in ACUTE LEUKEMIA, present or absent?
Present
Neutropenia in CHRONIC LEUKEMIA, present or absent?
Absent
Anemia in ACUTE LEUKEMIA, present or absent?
Present
Anemia in CHRONIC LEUKEMIA, present or absent?
Present
Platelets in ACUTE LEUKEMIA
LOW
Platelets in CHRONIC LEUKEMIA
Normal / increased
Organomegaly in acute leukemia
(abnormal enlargement of organs)
Mild
Organomegaly in chronic leukemia
(abnormal enlargement of organs)
Severe
Sub classification of acute leukemia
Acute Non lymphocytic Leukemia (ANLL) and Acute lymphoblastic leukemia
(ALL)
Acute nonlymphocytic leukemia or ANLL is more commonly called _________.
acute myeloid leukemia (AML).
Sub classification of acute leukemia
Chronic Myeloid Leukemia (CML)
Chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL)
T/F: ANLL and ALL both have subtypes
TRUE
T/F: CML and CLL both have subtypes
FALSE
—> CLL has subtypes
LEUKEMIA BASED ON PREDOMINANT CELL TYPE (CYTOLOGIC)
- GRANULOCYTIC OR MYELOCYTIC LEUKEMIA
- LYMPHOCYTIC/LYMPHOID LEUKEMIA
- MONOCYTIC LEUKEMIA
- PLASMA CELL LEUKEMIA
- MAST CELL LEUKEMIA
- HISTIOCYTIC LEUKEMIA
- MEGAKARYOCYTIC LEUKEMIA
- BASOPHILIC LEUKEMIA
the predominant cells are all cells coming from
common myeloid progenitors
Granulocytic or Myelocytic Leukemia
Under Granulocytic or Myelocytic Leukemia, we have (MPACE)
a. Acute Myeloid/Myeloblastic Leukemia
b. Chronic Myeloid Leukemia
c. Promyelocytic Leukemia
d. Myelomonocytic Leukemia
e. Eosinophilic Leukemia
in Lymphocytic/Lymphoid Leukemia, the predominant cells are all cells coming from
common lymphoid progenitors
2 types of Lymphocytic/Lymphoid Leukemia
a. Acute Lymphocytic Leukemia
b. Chronic Lymphocytic
CLASSIFICATION BASED ON FUNCTIONAL
CAPACITY OF RELEASE MECHANISM
- LEUKEMIC LEUKEMIA
- SUBLEUKEMIC LEUKEMIA
- ALEUKEMIC LEUKEMIA
presence of immature or abnormal cells with
WBC count greater than 15 x 10^9 /L
LEUKEMIC LEUKEMIA
LEUKEMIC LEUKEMIA WBC count value
> 15 x 10^9 /L
with immature or abnormal cells in peripheral blood and with WBC count less
than 15 x 10^9/L
SUBLEUKEMIC LEUKEMIA
SUBLEUKEMIC LEUKEMIA WBC count is
less than 15 x 10^9/L
with no immature cells in the peripheral
blood and with WBC count less than 15 x
10^9/L
ALEUKEMIC LEUKEMIA
CLASSIFICATION BASED ON LOCALIZED
PROLIFERATION OF CELLS OF THE SAME TYPE
- CHLOROMA
- MYELOBLASTOMA
- MYELOMA
- LYMPHOMA
—a type of myeloblastic leukemia
— formation of tumors originating from periosteum, especially of skull, orbits, nasal
sinuses, ribs and vertebrae
– bone, lungs, lymph nodes
CHLOROMA
CHLOROMA is a type of myeloblastic leukemia
with formation of tumors originating from
periosteum, especially of skull, orbits, nasal
sinuses, ribs and vertebrae
bone, lungs, lymph nodes
a focal malignant tumor composed of
myeloblast or early myeloid precursors
occurring outside of the bone marrow
MYELOBLASTOMA
local tumorous proliferation of plasma
cells in the marrow
MYELOMA
~ proliferation of one of the cell types of
the lymphopoietic reticular tissue
~ it begins and involves lymph nodes
predominantly and sometimes other sites
such as the spleen and GIT
LYMPHOMA
LYMPHOMA
~ proliferation of one of the cell types of _____

LYMPHOMA it begins and involves_____ predominantly and sometimes other sites
such as ____ and _____.
lymph nodes
spleen and GIT
is a reactive but excessive leukocytosis
characterized by the presence of immature cells in the peripheral blood
