Panda Hematologic Neoplastic Disorders Flashcards
Unique physical exam finding of AML with normal cytogenetics?
Gingival Hyperplasia
Immunophenotype of AML with normal cytogenetics?
CD34+
Gene product in AML with translocation
ETO-AML1 [RUNX1-RUNX1t1]
2 ways ETO-AML1 [RUNX1-RUNX1t1] gene product causes malignancy?
Protein binds DNA as a co-repressor and inhibits transcription needed for differentiation; forms constitutively active pro-proliferation system
Presentation of AML with translocation
pancytopenia and its related symptoms (infection, bleeding, fatigue/hypoxia)
Morphology of AML with translocation
Auer Rods (crystalized Myeloperoxidase); Large blasts with smudgy chromatin
Immunophenotype of AML?
CD13+, CD33+ (Maturing Myeloid); CD34+ (Blasts)
Protein product in Acute Promyelocytic Leukemia
PML-RARA; a fusion protein of transcription factor and retinoic acid receptor
What does the protein product do in Acute Premyelocytic Leukemia?
Inhibits granulocyte differentiation
Presentation of Acute Premyelocytic Leukemia?
Thrombocytopenia, DIC, and Leukocytosis
Immunophenotype of Acute Premyelocytic Leukemia?
CD34-, HLA-DR- (Low blasts, normal for APL); CD13+, CD33+ (immature myeloid markers)
Morphology of Acute Premyelocytic Leukemia?
Big blasts, Auer Rod Stacks, Heart-shaped/bat wing nuclei + Butterfly Nuclei
Protein product in Acute Myelomonocytic Leukemia?
Fusion protein of transcription factors CBFB-MYH11
Action of protein made in Acute Myelomonocytic Leukemia?
Inhibits myeloid maturation
Immunophenotype of Acute Myelomonocytic Leukemia?
CD34+ CD117+ (blasts); CD13+, CD33+ (maturing/granulocyte); CD14+, CD11b+ (monocyte)
Morphology of Acute Myelomonoctyic Leukemia?
Mixed granulocyte-monocyte features (myelomonocytic); Eosinophilia
Prognosis of Acute Myelomonoctyic Leukemia?
Prognosis is poor, chemo slightly improves condition
