B cell ALL
Poor prognostic factors in ALL
t(9;22)
High leukocyte count
Symptomatic CNS disease
Most common lymphoid leukemia
Chronic lymphoid leukemia
Non hodgkin Lymphomas with female preponderance
Follicular lymphoma
Marginal Zone B cell lymphoma of MALT type
NHLs common in children
Precursor T cell lymphoblastic lymphoma (40%)
Burkitt lymphoma (30%)
Diffuse large B cell lymphoma (25%)
Peripheral T cell non hodgkin lymphoma (5%)
Anaplastic large T/Null cell lymphoma
International prognostic index for NHL
B symptoms are common in which NHLs
Anaplastic large T/null cell lymphoma
Peripheral T cell non hodgkin lymphoma
NHLs which doesnot involve bone marrow commonly
Anaplastic large T/Null cell lymphoma
MALT
DLBCL
NHLs with good prognosis
NHL
% surviving 5 years
Anaplastic large T/Null cell lymphoma
77%
MALT
74%
Follicular
72%
CLL
Smudge or basketcells
Cytogenetic abnormalities in CLL
trisomy 12
abnormalities in chromosome 13
Diagnosis of typical B cell CLL is made when the number of circulating lymphocytes is more than
4000/µL
These are monoclonal B cells expressing CD5
CD5 positive NHLs
Mantle cell lymphoma
B cell CLL
Tissue manifestation of waldenstrom macroglobulinemia
Lymphoplasmacytic lymphoma
Lymphomas similar to SLL
Mantle cell lymphoma
Nodal marginal zone B cell lymphoma
lymphoplasmacytic lymphoma
The diagnosis of typical B cell CLL should be considered in any patient with
Autoimmune hemolytic anemia
Autoimmune thrombocytopenia
Poor prognostic markers in CLL
CD38
ZAP 70
Lumbar puncture is needed in which NHLs
Lymphoblastic
burkitt
DLBCL
Treatment for CLL/SLL
Oral Chlorambucil
IV Fludarabine(more active)
Drug equally efficacious as fludarabine in CLL
Bendamustine
MALT lymphomas
Site
Disease
Stomach
H.Pylori
Thyroid
Hashimoto thyroiditis
Salivary gland
Sjogren
Ocular
Chlamydia psitacci conjunctivitis
Skin
Borrelia
Translocation in MALT lymphoma
t(11;18)
Determining factor in progression of MALT lymphoma to DLBCL
t(11;18) negativity
BCL 6 mutations
translocation in mantle cell lymphoma
t(11;14)
Overexpression of _____________ leads to mantle cell lymphoma
BCL1/CYCLIN D1
Difference btw mantle cell lymphoma and SLL
Mantle cell lymphoma has a slightly indented nucleus
GI involvement of mantle cell lymphoma
Lymphomatosis polyposis of large intestine
Mantle cell lymphoma patients with GI involvement usually have involvement of
waldeyer ring
Treatment of mantle cell lymphoma
Hyper CVAD
Cyclophosphamide
Vincristine
doxorubicin
dexamethasone
cytarabine
methotrexate
Translocation in follicular lymphoma
t(14;18)
Abnormal expression of ___________ protein is seen in follicular lymphoma
BCL2
Small cleaved cells
large cells
arranged in follicular pattern
follicular lymphoma
Follicular lymphoma must be differentiated from
Reactive follicular hyperplasia
Most common presentation of follicular lymphoma
new
painless
lymphadenopathy
Transformation of follicular lymphoma to DLBCL is heralded by
Rapidly enlarging nodes
B symptoms
Most common type of NHL
DLBCL
Transformation of CLL to DLBCL
Richter syndrome
Primary mediastinal DLBCL
Common in females
Younger median age(37 years)
