Systemic inflammatory response syndrome
What are the causes of neutrophilic leukocytosis?
Chronic infections and ongoing inflammatory conditions–lung abscesses

Coarse and dark primary granules seen with neutrophils that indicate an overwhelming inflammatory condition
What are Dohle bodies?
Patches of dilated ER of neutrophils indicating an overwhelming inflammatory condition
Patient presents with leukocytosis and immature myeloid cells in the peripheral blood. A high leukocyte alkaline phosphatase (LAP) score is present. What is the reaction occurring in this patient?
Leukemoid reaction
If abnormal maturation of myeloid cells in marrow and low LAP–> CML
What is seen on a blood smear of a patient with infectious mononucleosis?
Large atypical lymphocytes with abundant cytoplasm
Large nucleus with fine chromatin
What is the cause of infectious mononucleosis, be specific?
EBV genes–cause proliferation and activation of multiple cones of B cells–Polyclonal B-cell expansion
What cells are not increased with infectious mononucleosis?
Basophils
Eosinophils
Monocytes
What is present in lymph nodes draining cancer?
Reactive pattern, with dilated sinusoid that have endothelial hypertrophy and filled with histiocytes
What are seen on biopsy of lymph nodes caused by a reactive condition (painful)?
Large, variably sized, germinal centers containing numerous mitotic figures
Numerous parafollicular and sinusoidal neutrophils
What is CD3?
T-cell marker
What is CD19 and 20?
B-cell marker
What is CD68?
Macrophage (histiocyte) marker
A 5 year old presents with enlarged axillary lymph nodes and a raised erythematous nodule over abrasions. Histology is performed and stellate, necrotizing granulomas are seen. The mother states that she thinks the child was bitten by something. What is the most likely cause of this patients symptoms?
Cat-scratch disease–Bartonella henselae
A 7 year old patient present with a mediastinal mass that expresses CD2 and CD7. The patient has a point mutation in NOTCH1 gene. What do the markers represent and what is the dx?
Pre-T cell types
Acute lymphoblastic leukemia/lymphoma (ALL)
What does a + TdT marker indicate?
Pre-T and Pre-B cells
56 year old pt presents with non-tender axillary and cervical lymphadenopathy. blood smear shows monotonous population of small, round, mature-looking lymphocytes. Flow cytometry is + for CD19 and 5. What is the Dx?

Anemia
Thrombocytopenia
Presence of blasts in the peripheral blood and bone marrow
What subtype of acute lymphoblastic leukemia has a good response to chemo, what age group are these patients in and what translocation is present?
Early pre-B cell type–hyperdiploidy
Patients btwn ages 2 and 10
Chromosomal trisomy and t(12;21)
What subtype of acute lymphoblastic leukemia has a poor response to chemo/poor prognosis, what age groups, what translocation and what prognostic factors?
T-cell phenotype
Patients 100k
What leukemia appears in young to middle-aged adults with peroxidase-postive myeloblasts?
Acute myelogenous leukemia
What cells increase in circulation in chronic lymphocytic leukemia?
Many small circulating mature B lymphocytes with scant cytoplasm
What do the cells express in chronic lymphocytic leukemia?
CD5/19/20
Is chronic lymphocytic leukemia seen in younger or older ind?
Older adults
A condition in which platelet destruction is caused by an antibody-mediated process. Lab values show all normal cells except platelet count is reduced?
Idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura
What type of pattern is seen with follicular lymphoma?
nodular or follicular pattern
What translocation is seen with follicular lymphoma?
14;18
What does the 14;18 translocation cause in follicular lymphoma?
Overexertion of the BCL2 gene by juxtaposing it with the IgH locus–cells resistant to apoptosis

B-cell tumor
What translocation is seen with mantle cell lymphoma?
11;14
What is caused by the 11;14 translocation seen with mantle cell lymphoma?
Overexertion of the cyclin D1 gene-causing G1-S phase transition
What B cell lymphoma is commonly seen in HIV positive patients? How does this occur?
Diffuse large-cell lymphoma
Immunosuppression allows unregulated proliferation and neoplastic transformation of EBV-infected B-cells
