Pathoma Flashcards
Key differences between ALL and AML
AML: Auer rods
ALL: +Tdt (DNA polymerase)
Genetic condition associated with ALL after the age of 5 y/o
Down Syndrome
Difference in T-ALL and B-ALL cells
B: positive for 10, 19, 20
T: postive for CD2 thru 8, No 10
2 Diseases the the Philadelphia chromosome is associated with, gene it codes for, and major cause
B-ALL and CML, BCR-ABL gene, and radiation (Godzilla tears up Philly)
Translocation of Acute promyelocytic leukemia and gene codes for
t(15;17). RAR receptor. Use All-trans-retinoic acid to help the cells mature
What part of APL makes them more prone to DIC
the Auer rods activate the cascade
Heme cancer associated with hyperplasia of the gums
Acute monocytic leukemia
Only Acute myeloid leukemia that lacks MPO
Acute megakaryoblastic leukemia
Associated with AML ~before~ the age of 5
Acute megakaryoblastic leukemia
Key feature of Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia
Naïve B cell proliferations, so co-express CD5 and CD20, Smudge cells
CDs associated with Hairy Cell Leukemia
CD103 and 123
Flower cells are seen in what leukemia?
Adult TLL
Rash, lytic bone lesions, and hypercalcemia
Adult TLL
Follicular lymphoma translocation and gene it codes for
t(14:18) and Bcr-l2 (L2 looks like LL…foLLIcular lymphoma)
Treatment for follicular lymphoma
CHOP-R (R=rituximab, against CD20)
Mantle Cell lymphoma translocation and gene
t(11:14) and Cyclin D1, that causes the cell to go from G1 to S phase
Burkitt’s lymphoma translocation and gene
t(8;14) and c-myc to promote over expression of cell growth
Diffuse Large B Cell Lymphoma translocation and gene
t(2;5) and ALK-1 OR no translocation. Can come from Follicular cell lymphoma. Very aggressive
CD in Nodular Lymphocyte predominate HL
CD20 and CD45
CD in Classical HL
CD30 and CD15
High serum levels of IL-6 suggests what?
Multiple Myeloma
What does multiple myeloma cause lytic bone lesions and hypercalcemia?
RANK activates osteoclasts, creating the signs seen.
Most common IG in multiple myeloma?
M spike is typically IgG
Rouleux chains are associated with what?
Multiple Myeloma
Light chains excreted in urine
Bence-Jones proteins
Waldenstroms Macroglobulinemia M spike is from what?
IgM over production with B cell lymphoma
Histology of Langherhans Histocytosis
Birbeck granules. aka Tennis rackets, CD1a + and S100+
