Non-Hodgkin's Lymphoma Flashcards
Adult types
Follicular lymphoma
CLL/SLL
Mantle cell
Children and adolescent types
Burkitt
ALL/lymphoblastic
Anaplastic large T cell
IPI for NHL
Age>60 Stage 3 or 4 Extranodal sites>2 Performance status >2 LDH>normal
What helps classify NHL?
Immunophenotype
Small lymphocytic lymphoma severity and presentation
INdolent
Small B lympho and prolymphocytes
Advanced stage presentation
Older adults
Small lymphocytic Lymphoma adverse
ZAP70+ (signlaing associated with Ig receptor)
p53 mutation
Naive B cell origin
Richter syndrome
Transformation of small lymphocytic lymphoma to large B cell lymphoma
Related leukemia to small lymphocytic lymphoma
CLL
How can you distinguish SLL from mantle cell
Immuophenotype and lack of cyclin D1 overexpression in SLL
Symptoms of SLL
Immune dysfunction with hypogammaglobulinemia, AIHA, and/or thrombocytopenia
Follicular lymphoma severity and presentation
Indolent
Nodular proliferation of germinal center…mix of small and large cell
Generalized LAD
Usually high stage
Follicular lymphoma mutation and how to ID
t(14;18) IGH/BCL2 overexpression (antiapoptotic protein)
Can use BCL2 stain…if reactive follicular hyperplasia then stains outside of germinal center
Follicular lymphoma transformation
Transform to diffuse large B cell lymphoma with acquisition of additional abnormalities (from somatic hypermutation)
Mantle Cell Lymphoma presentation and appearance
Looks indolent but aggressive
Adult
Usual nodal but may present as spleni of GI dz (lymphomatous polyposis)
Could be blastoid (look like lymphoblastic) or pleomorphic (looks like DLBCL)
May resemble FL, SLL, MZL
Mutation in mantle cell lymphoma and how to ID
BCL1 (cyclin D1 overexpression)
t(11;14) IGH/cyclin D1
Use cyclin D1 immunohistochemical stain to diagnose
Marginal zone B cell lymphoma of MALT appearance
Indolent Adult Small Bs, lymphoepithelial lesions and plasma cells Extranodal (GI most common) Areas of ongoing inflammation
Marginal B cell lymphoma of MALT association and mutation
Infectious agent (H.pylori) or autoimmunity
If t(11;18), then resistant to antimicrobial RX
Some mutations result in NFKB (pro-survival protein)
