mostly neutrophils
left shift (5-10% immature bands)
A

leukemoid reaction

41

most common tumor that arises in bone if > 50 yo

A

multiple myeloma

50
Q

malignancy of plasma cells that arises in BM

Bence Jones proteins: Ig light chains in urine detected on urine protein electrophoresis (UPEP) - BUT no ↑ protein on UA
punched out lytic bone lesions on XRAY (swiss cheese)
smear: RBC stacked like coins (rouleaux formation)

A

multiple myeloma

51
Q

4 clues, >40-50 yo:
anemia: plasma cells interfere with production of other cell lines in BM
renal insufficiency: Ab casts in urine
back pain + hypercalcemia: secrete cytokines “local osteolytic factors” that stimulate osteoclasts, inhibit osteoblasts

A

multiple myeloma

52
Q

associations with multiple myeloma

A

↑ susceptibility: lymphocytes are defective/deficient

1° amyloidosis (AL): deposition of Ig light chains

53

A

plasmacytoma

55
