Lymphoid & Myeloid Neoplasms (15) Flashcards
What are myeloid neoplasms?
neoplasms of all non-lymphoid blood cells
arise from bone marrow
What are lymphoid neoplasms?
neoplasms of lymphocyte origin, including plasma cells
- bone marrow (leukemia, multiple myeloma)
lymph nodes, spleen, thymus
tissue lymphoid populations, such as GI or skin
What is leukemia?
refers to neoplastic cells in blood and/or marrow
True leukemias arise from ____
marrow
What are acute vs chronic leukemias?
acute: many blast cells in marrow
Acute myeloid leukemia: worst leukemia
Chronic lymphocytic leukemia: best leukemia
What does a myeloperoxidase stain do?
determines if it’s granulocytic or not
What is lymphoma?
solid tumors that develop OUTSIDE the marrow
What is lymphoid leukemia?
refers to neoplasia in marrow and/or blood not associated with solid tumors
acute lymphoblastic leukemia
chronic lymphocytic leukemia
What is lymphoma with leukemia or lymphosarcoma cell leukemia?
not a true leukemia; develop peripherally - metastasize in blood to marrow
What is CD34?
cluster of differentiation surface marker
may help differentiate ALL (acute lymphoblastic leukemia, +) from lymphoma with leukemia (-)
What are plasma cell tumors?
multiple myeloma
plasmacytoma
Multiple myeloma develops ____ marrow
within
Plasmacytoma develops _____ marrow
outside
What does PARR do?
when negative: inflammatory/reactive
when positive: lymphocytic populations
What is Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia?
neoplastic pro-lymphocytes or lymphoblasts present in bone marrow
differentiate from other blast cells using species stains and/or CD surface markers
ALL has a [positive/negative] PARR
positive
reactive have negative
What is chronic lymphocytic leukemia?
primarily seen in old animals
lymphocytosis involving normal-appearing lymphocytes - don’t tend to have normal characteristics of malignancy with big cells
With CLL, FeLV cats are normally [positive/negative]
negative
ALL: positive
What is more common with CLL?
T-lymphocyte type more common than B-lymphocyte type
What are lymphomas again?
solid tumors
