A

Severe follicular hyperplasia
- Regressive follicular hyperplasia
- Follicular involution, progressing to

Q

Apart from R-S cells, which other cells can be found in HL

A

Lacunar cells
Lymphocytic cells
Histiocytic(popcorn)
Hodgkin cell

23
Q

Hodgkin lymphoma

A

tumor of germinal centre B - cell with non-productive Ig gene arrangements

24
Q

Characteristic giant cell in HL

A

H-RS cell

25
Q

Characteristic giant cell in NLPHL(nodular lymphocyte predominant hodgkin lymphoma)

A

L and H cell

it is a type of Hodgkin lymphoma but not a classical one.

mature b cell lymphoma

26
Q

term given to how or why HRS cell escape apoptosis

A

fail to undergo negative selection

27
Q

role of NFKB in HL pathogenesis

A

upregulates pro-proliferative and anti-apoptotic gene expression programme in lymphocytes in inflammation

28
Q

which gene is highly mutated in HL and what’s its function

A

A20

regulates activity of NFKB

29
Q

Is A20 mutatiion only found in HL

A

No

also in DLBCL
Extranodal MZL

30
Q

Mechanisms by which HRS cells are resistant to apoptosis

A
expression of CFLIP (antiapoptic protein)
inhibition of caspase 8 cleavage
a20 mutation
lack b cell receptor
lineage promiscuity
more in monozygotic twins
31
Q

role of EBV

A

Via LMPS- latent membrane proteins
2 - shuts down BCR expression
1 - leads to NFKB activation. 2 can do same.
this upregulation inhibits fas signalling

32
Q

key difference between NLPHL and HRS

A

HRS cells of CHL lack Bcl-6 proteins

33
Q

what HRS cells secrete

A

TH 2 cells cytokines and chemokines

34
Q

Classification of HL

A

Nodular sclerosis
mixed cellularity
lymphocyte depleted
lymphocyte rich

35
Q

nodular sclerosis

A

predilection for mediastinal lymph nodes
dominated by lacunar cells
graded 1 and 2 with 2 being worse

36
Q

mixed cellularity

A

younger age

EBV+

37
Q

Lymphocyte depletion

A

previously diagnosed as anaplastic carcinomas or high grade NHLs

HIV+
Aggressive but curable

38
Q

lymphocyte rich

A

no eosinophils
rare
ebv negative

39
Q

Staging of Hodgkin lymphoma

A

I – A single lymph node or a single extralymphatic organ
II- 2 or more groups of lymph nodes on the same side of diaphragm or localized involvement of an extralymphatics organ or site(IIE)
III- Lymph nodes on different side of diaphragm without or with involvement of an extralymphatic organ or site (IIIE)
IV- Diffuse involvement of 1 or more extralymphatic organs or sites with or without lymphatic involvement

40
Q

Etiology of NHL

A
Congenital and acquired immune state
Ebv
T cell leukemia
GMZL
H pylori
Sunlight
EM field
Herbs, pesticides
Hep C virus
Hair dressing
Petrochemicals
41
Q

2 types of lymphoid leukemia

A

46
Q

Where is BL rare

A

47
Q

Etiology of Burkitt Lymphoma

A
