Presentations - Ch. 13 Flashcards
Enlarged, painful lymph nodes that may be fluctuant, overlying skin is red
Acute nonspecific lymphadenitits - bacterial infection
Enlarged, nontender inguinal and/or axillary lymph nodes that grow slowly over time, organized collections of immune cells in nonlymphoid organs (tertiary lymphoid organs)
Chronic nonspecific lymphadenitits - chronic H. pylori gastritis or RA B-cell follicles in synovium
Child, abrupt onset, fatigue, fever, bleeding, bone pain, lymphadenopathy, organomegaly, meningitis symptoms (stiff neck, vomiting, etc.)
Explain symptoms
B-ALL (leukemia)
Fatigue = anemia Fever = neutropenic infections Bleeding = thrombocytopenia Bone pain = marrow expansion Organomegaly and neuro symptoms = neoplastic infiltration
Adolescent male, thymic mass, superior vena cava syndrome, Horner’s syndrome
T-ALL (lymphoma)
Adolescent/young adult, masses in the mandible and abdominal viscera
Endemic (EBV-associated) Burkitt lymphoma
Older adult, rapidly growing masses within LN, liver, spleen, Waldeyer ring (throat) and/or extranodal sites (GI, skin, bone, brain)
DLBCL
Adult, chronic inflammatory disease, extranodal mass, indolent
Extranodal marginal zone lymphoma
Middle age, generalized painless lymphadenopathy, marrow involvement, indolent, expanded white pulp follicles in spleen
Follicular lymphoma
Middle aged white male, pancytopenia, massive splenomegaly, atypical Mycobacterium infections
Hairy cell leukemia
Older male, disseminated disease, moderately aggressive
Mantle cell lymphoma
Older adult, lytic bone lesions, pathologic fractures, hypercalcemia, renal failure, neurologic manifestations, recurrent bacterial infections
Multiple myeloma
Isolated plasma cell mass in bone, extraosseous lesions in lungs, oronasopharynx, or nasal sinuses
Solitary plasmacytoma
Older adult, asymptomatic at diagnosis, then nonspecific symptoms (easily fatigued, weight loss), generalized lymphadenopathy, hepatosplenomegaly, periportal lymphocytic infiltrate in liver
CLL/SLL
Adult, rapidly progressive, skin lesions, generalized lymphadenopathy, hepatosplenomegaly, lymphocytosis, hypercalcemia
What else can accompany this?
Adult T cell leukemia/lymphoma - Endemic to Japan, West Africa, Caribbean
Progressive demyelinating disease
Older adult, generalized lymphadenopathy, eosinophilia, pruritis, fever, weight loss
Peripheral T-cell lymphoma, unspecified
Children/young adult, LN and soft tissue disease
Anaplastic large-cell lymphoma
Adult, destructive extranodal mass (esp. sinonasal, testis, or skin), ischemic necrosis, EBV
Extranodal NK/T-cell lymphoma
Adult, changing cutaneous patches, plaques, nodules, or generalized redness
Mycosis fungoides/Sezary syndrome
