Lymphoma Flashcards
tangible bodies:
apoptotic bodies
Lymphs cells that are told to die
mantle zone (outer)
naive b zone
marginal zone
memory B cells
Lymphadenopathy causes
reactive
Metatstatic malignancy
lymphoma
Reasons for reactive lymphs
Always begnin
Specific lymphadenopathy
-Granulomatous (usually TB or Cocci)
Can also be non-caseating (sarcoidosis
Specific
Acute or Chronic Reactive
Reactive LN (acute)
localized or generalized
Localized:
Ex: drainage from nearby infection
Note: children can have enlargement everywhere
Follicular w/ necrosis (PMNs) pyogenic
Foliilular hyperplasia necrosis with suppurative ganulomas (pus)
Cat scratch disease: bartonella
Yersina
Tularemia
Bubo
enlarged lymph node, drains pus out of skin
CT of abdomen with granulomas in small intestines Q
yersinia enterocolytica (appendicitis maybe)
Mesentartic LN
usually yersinia
Symptoms match acute NS LN
Chronic NS LN
enlardged, non tender:
- follicular hyperplasia
- paracortical hyperplasia
- Sinus histiocytes
are hyperplasias malignant?
NO
They are benign adaptation
- follicular hyperplasia (chronic)
B cell proliferation in apoptotic bodies in germinal centers
HIV
RA
- paracortical hyperplasia (chronic)
T cells, macrophages and eosinophils
MI, CMV, varicella-zoster
Response to viral infections
Could be a rxn from vaccination
SLE
- sinus histiocytosis (chronic)
Non malignant marcophages in node sinuses
Common cause for nodes draining cancer
Mixed Pattern Reactive hyperplasia
toxoplasmosis
Follicular and interfollicular Mphage collections
Lymphoma General
Neoplastic, monoclonal lymphocytes that form a mass
1/3 are leukemic
2/3 form masses
Nodal or extra nodal
Lymphoma B vs T
80-85% are B cell
20-15% are T cell (worse)
Few NK cells (worst)
Lymphoma cell stages
Lymbphoblasts (immature) Bone marrow (leukemia for B cells)
Naive B cells
No longer once through germinal center
Mature B cell (CD23)
Mixture of V cells in follicle
Principles of Lymphoma
immune diffincies
(makes immunity even worse)
Follicular lymphoma hones on germinal center
T cells lymphomas hone to skin
Lymphoma diagnosis
Biopsy
Must correlate age, histology, clinical features etc
Immunophenotype
K or lambda light change are increased
Certain translocations can be definitive
Lymphoma classifications
Hodgkins:
4-5 ypes
NHL:
Precursor B or T (immature)
Peripheral B or T (mature)
Multiple peripeheral T subtypes
Ddx for single non-tender enlarged inguinal lymph node
chronic NS LN
Metastatic carcinoma (anal squamous)
Melanoma from leg
Metastatic carncinoma
Malignant Lymphoma (adult lymphomas don't spread)
BCL 6
CD 19,20
Diffiuse Large B-Cell Lymphoma
DLBLC
Chromosome 8 (MYC)
T(8;14)
CD 10,19,20
Burkitt’s Lymphoma
Starry Sky
3 types: all involve HBV
