Lymphomas Flashcards
Lymphoid neoplasms include what?
Hodgkins, non-Hodgkins, plasma cell dyscrasias and some leukemias
Leukemia vs lymphoma
leukemias = blood and bone marrow
lymphomas = lymph nodes or tissues
Hodgkin vs non-Hodgkin
Hodgkin = presents with RS cells
Non Hodgkin - no RS cells
How to diagnose lymphoid neoplasms
Immunohistochemistry, flow cytometry, genotype/karotype
Antibodys, cell markers (CD markers)
Morphology of cells
Maturation levels
Most common leukemias in adults
CLL
Most common indolent NHL in the US?
