T-ALL
B-ALL
childhood acute leukemia (uncommon presents in bone or skin) most common cancer in children W:B 3:1 slightly more frequent in boys hispanics highest incidence peaks at age 3
T-ALL
less common
adolescent males as thymic lymphomas
evolve to leukemic picture
B-ALL mutations
loss of fnx in PAX5, E2A, EBF, ETV6, RUNX1
12;21
T-ALL mutations
gain of fnx in NOTCH1
ALL mutations
90% have numerical or structural chromosome changes
most commonly hyperploidy
ALL morphology
marrow hypercellular
mediastinal thymic masses
lymphadenopathy
macriphages have stary sky appearance
B-ALL immunophenotype
CD19 PAX5 CD10 +/- CD20 IgM heavy chain
T-ALL immunophenotype
CD1- 5
CD7 and 8
clinical ALL
Abrupt stormy onset w/in days to weeks
symptoms of ALL due to bone marrow supression
anemia
low grade fever
infections
bleeding
other symptoms of ALL
bone pain generalized lymphadenpathy splenomegaly hepatomegaly testicular involvement meningeal (B-ALL)
worse prognosis ALL
100,000
(9;22)- Philadelphia chrom
favorable prognosis ALL
2-10 yrs low white count hyperdiploidy trisomy of 4,7,10 presence of t(12;21)
CLL
chronic lymphocytic leukemia absolute lympohocytosis >5000 most common leukemia of adults in western world median age 60 less common in japan and asia
CLL mutations
deletion of: 13q14.3 11q 17p trisomy 12q gain of fnx NOTCH1R in 18%
CLL pathogenesis
growth limited to proliferation centers due to stromal cells TFs
unmutated Ig segments mor aggressive
CLL morphology
proliferation centers- larger activated lymphocytes gathered in loose aggregates
pathognomonic for CLL
smudge cells
infiltrates in splenic white and red pulp and portal triads
CLL immunophenotype
CD19 CD20 CD23 CD5 low level expression of surface Ig
CLL presentation
usually asymptomatic at Dx
CLL symptoms
fatigability weight loss anorexia lymphadenopathy hepatosplenomegaly small monoclonal Ig spike infections
CLL and immune fnx
hypogammoglobulinemia common
increased susceptibility to bacterial infections
hemolytic anemia
thrombocytopenia
worse prognosis CLL
deletion of 11q and 17p
lack of somatic hypermutations
ZAP-70
NOTCH1 mutations
richter syndrome
occurs when CA transforms to more aggressive DLBCL
rapidly enlarging mass w/in lymph nodes or spleen
survival <1yr
follicular lymphoma
most common form of indolent NHL in US
less common in Europe, rare in asia
follicular lymphoma pathogenesis
hallmark is (14;18) -> overexpression of BCL2
BCL2 antagonizes apoptosis and promotes survival
MML2 mutations -> epigenetics
follicular lymphoma morphology
predominately nodular or nodular and diffuse
no clear germinal centers visible
lymphocytosis in 10%
bone marrow involvement in 85% -> paratrabecular lymphoid aggregates
splenic white pulp and hepatic portal tirads frequently involved
Follicular lymphoma immunophenotype
CD19 CD20 CD10 Surface Ig BCL6 BCL2 unlike CLL CD5 negative
Follicular lymphoma clinical
generalized lymphadenopathy extranodal sites uncommon waxing and waning course incurable anti CD20 may help histologic transformation in 30-50% most commonly to DLBCL survival <1yr
DLBCL
diffuse large B cell lymphoma
most common NHL in US
slight male predominance
median age 60
DLBCL pathogenesis
dysregulation of BCL6
may arise from follicular cell lymphomas
5% MYC
epigenetics
DLBCL morphology
large cell size
diffuse pattern, no follicular formations
large mutlilobar or cleaved nuclei
karyorexis
DLBCL immunophenotype
CD19
CD20
+/- CD10, BCL5
DLBCL subtypes
immunodeficiency associated
primary effusion lymphoma
immunodeficiency DLBCL
HIV
EBV
primary effusion lymphoma DLBCL
always infected w/KSHV/HHV-8
typically do not express B or T cell markers
have clonal IgH
DLBCL clinical
rapidly enlarging mass at nodal or extranodal site
waldyer ring
liver and spleen large destructive masses
bone marrow rarely involved
aggressive and rapidly fatal w/o Tx
MYC worse prognosis
if circulating neoplastic B cells worse prognosis
Burkitt lymphoma types
african/endemic/mandibular
sporadic/nonendemic
aggressive lymphomas in HIV
Burkitt pathogenesis
MYC on chrom 8 Warburg effect fastest growing CA sporadic usually class switch regions essentially all endemic have EBV
Burkitt morphology
diffuse infiltration
phagocytes have starry sky pattern
royal blue cytoplasm w/clear cytoplasmic vacules
Burkitt immunophenotype
IgM CD19 CD20 CD10 BCL6 consistent w/germinal center B cell origin almost always neg for BCL2
Burkitt clinical
children and young adults
endemic- mandible
sporadic- GI
worse prognosis in older adults
solitary myeloma
MM infrequent variant
presents as single mass in bone or soft tissue
soft tissue can usually be cured w/excision
smoldering myeloma
MM uncommon variant defined by lack of symptoms and elvelated plasma M, but < 3
Waldenstom macroglobinemia
syndrome in which high IgM leads to hyperviscosity symptoms
usually older adults
associated w/lymphoplasmacytic lymphoma
MM
commonly associated w/lytic bone lesions, hypercalcemia, renal failure, and acquired immune abnormalities
higher incidence in men and african descent
peak 65-70
MM pathogenesis
cyclin D1 deletions of 17p (TP53gene) -> poor prognosis late state disease MYC rearrangments NFkB mutations High level of IL6 poor prognosis
definition of MM
> 3 serum Ig (IgG most common)
and/or
6 BJ proteins
plamacytomas
destructive plasma cell tumors of axial skeleton seen in MM
Bone lesions on radiograph
appear as punched out defects consisting of soft gelatinous red tumor masses
malignant plasma cells
like their benign counter parts, have perinuclear clearing
can be relatively normal appearing blast cells
or
bizarre multinucleated cells
