Q

What are the classifications of lymphoma? (just look over)

A
22
Q

What is lymphoma with leukemia?

A

starts with peripheral tumors

23
Q

What does this show?

A

lymphoma infiltrate in dog marrow

left: all mixed together
right: see focal aggregates of neoplastic cells

24
Q

What does canine lymphoma present as?

A

peripheral lymphadenopathy

25
Q

Describe canine lymphoma

A

multi centric, intermediate to high-grade lymphoma - 80% of cases

often present with painless peripheral lymphadenopathy

mostly Bcell lymphomas

normally don’t act ill

26
Q

What do you see in 20-40% cases of T-cell lymphoma?

A

hypercalcemia

27
Q

Describe feline lymphomas

A

cats generally ill*

superficial lymphadenopathy is UNcommon

28
Q

What are feline lymphomas before widespread vaccination?

A

mediastinal and multi centric forms
younger cats

29
Q

What are feline lymphomas after widespread vaccination?

A

ALIMENTARY form predominates (both B and T cells)

OLDER cats

mostly NEGATIVE

30
Q

T/F: FIV positive cats are 5x more likely to develop lymphoma than FIV and FeLV negative cats

A

TRUE

31
Q

What are bovine lymphoma forms?

A

enzootic form
sporadic form

32
Q

What is the enzootic form of bovine lymphoma?

A

chronic bovine leukemia virus infections
mature cattle
B cell multicentric form

BLV also causes a persistent benign lymphocytosis different than lymphoma with leukemia because it can be neoplastic or non-neoplastic

33
Q

What is the sporadic form of bovine lymphoma?

A

young cattle - multicentric calf, thyme, and skin types

not BLV associated

34
Q

What is multiple myeloma?

A

plasma cell tumor of bone marrow

monoclonal hyperglobulinemia present

Bence-Jones proteins in urine at times

plasma cell infiltrates may be found in other tissues

35
Q

What is this indicative of?

A

multiple myeloma (because of hyperglobulinemia)

36
Q

What are plasma cell tumors in cats?

A

more likely to exhibit metastasis
“myeloma-related disorder”
FeLV and FIV negative

atypical plasma cell morphology, a non-regenerative anemia, and hypocholesterolemia are common

37
Q

What are extra medullary plasma cell tumors?

A
38
Q

What are myeloid neoplasms?

A

neoplastic disorders characterized by the purposeless proliferation of nonlymphoid marrow cells

39
Q

What are examples of myeloid neoplasms - myeloproliferative disorders?

A

myelodysplastic syndromes
acute myeloid leukemias
myeloproliferative neoplasms

40
Q

What are clinical signs of myeloid neoplasms?

A

unexplained or frequent infections

pale mucous membranes - anemia

slow healing ulcerations of mucous membranes or skin

41
Q

What are blood findings of myeloid neoplasms?

A

non-regenerative anemia
nucleated erythrocytes often present
MCV increased in cats

leukocyte counts may be low, normal, or high
platelet counts are frequently decreased

42
Q

What are bone marrow findings with myeloid neoplasms?

A

usually hypercellular with increased cellularity in one or two cell lines and decreased cellularity in others

43
Q

What is this?

A

neutropenic cat with myelodysplastic syndrome

too many round cells - not normal proliferation

44
Q

What are myelodysplastic syndromes?

A

generally leukopenia and/or thrombocytopenia
nonregen anemia

likely clonal neoplastic disorder

45
Q

Myelodysplastic syndrome can transition to _____

A

acute myeloid leukemia (>20% blasts)

46
Q

Describe acute myeloid leukemia?

A

20% or greater blasts in bone marrow

non-regenerative anemia

leukocyte counts: may be low or normal, but more often are increased

platelets usually decreased

47
Q

Erythroleukemia is primarily in ____

A
