WBC Flashcards
Two.types of disorder of white cells
Proliferative disorder
Leukopenias
Types of proliferative disorder
Reactive proliferative
Neoplastic proliferation
Impaired granulocytic differentiation
Kostmann syndrome
Causes a toxic effect on granulocytic precursor
Chlorpromazine
Phenylbutazone
This is a ulcerating necrotizing lesions of the oral cavity
Agranulocytoc angina
Microscopic findings in leukocytosis
Toxkc granules
Dohle bodies
Cytoplasmic vacuoles
Due to humoral immune response
Naive b cells and mitotic spindles
RA,toxoplasmosis and early HIV
Follicular hyperplasia
Prominent in nodes draining cancer
Reticular hyperplasia
Sinus histiocytosis
Common cause of hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytes
EBV
Common cause of white cell neoplasia
Translocation
Genetic diseases that can increase risk of acute leukemia
Bloom syndrome
Fanconi anemia
Ataxic telangiectasia
This is found in the subset of burkitt lymphoma
EBV
Best diagnosis for lymphoid neoplasm
Biopsy
Most common cause of cancer in children
ALL
Commonly seen in chromosomal changes in ALL
Hyperploidy
What is the morphology of the ALL
Hypercellular and packed lymphoblast
Nuclei chromatin delicate and finely stippled
Worse prognosis of ALL
Less than 2yr old
Presentation in adulthood
+PH chromosome
Most common leukemia in adults
CLL
Also known as richter syndrome
Diffuse large b cell lymphoma
Pathogenesis hallmark of Follicular lymphoma
Translocation 14 and 18
Two principal cells seen in Follicular lymphoma
Centrocyte
Centroblast
Two types of plasmablasts
Flame cells
Mott cells
Most important clinical feature of multiple myeloma
Bence jones proteinuria
Myeloma kidney
This is localized
Orderly spread
No extranodal presentation r
Hodgkin Lymphoma
Most common form of hodgkin lymphoma
Nodular sclerosis
This resembles a popcorn kernel appearance
Lymphocyte predominant type
Diagnosis of AML
Presence of at least 20% of myeloid blast
Auer rods
What are morphologic findings seen in MDS
Pseudo pelger huet
Pawn ball megakaryocyte
Blast cells
Morphologic finding of primary myelofibrosis
Dacrocyte teardrop shaped cell
