Q

clinical features of ALL and AML

abrupt stormy onset within days to a few weeks of the first symptoms

mass effects (more common ALL) by neoplastic infiltration: bone pain from marrow expansion, gen lymphadenopathy, HSM, testicular enlargement, in T-ALL, complications to compression of large vessels and airways in mediastinum

follicular lympoma

diffuse large cell lymphoma

burkitt lymphoma

plasma cell neoplasms

mantle cell lymphoma

marginal zone lymphoma

hairy cell leukemia

40
Q

hypgammaglob
autoimune hemolytic anemia
transformation to DLBCL

A

CLL

-increased bacterial infection

41
Q

clincial features of hairy cell leukemia

A

HSM
pancytopenia
infections
dry tap

42
Q

SLL vs CLL

A

CLL with only LN inovlement with no peripheral lymphocytosis

43
Q

CLL

A

normal architecture is obliterated
preleuekmic bc pepole die of other things (infection)
absoulte lympocyte count over 5000
most common leukemia of adults in the western world
chrom translocations are rare

44
Q

CLL/SLL immunophenotype

A

CD19 and 20, 23, CD5

low level of surface Ig (IgM or IgD) is also typical

45
Q

clinical features of CLL

A
  • pts often asymptomatic at diagnosis
  • when appear they are non specific
  • gen lymphadenopathy and HSM in 50-60% sympt pts
  • leukopenia can be seen in pts with SLL and marrow involvement
  • excess counts of 200,000 in CLL pts with heavy tumor burdern sometimes
  • small monoclonal Ig spike in blood of some pts
46
Q

asymtomatic pts with monoclonal B cells in perihperal blood but in numers too few to merit diagnosis of CLL

A

these abnormal b cells often have some of the same genetic aberrations seen in CLL like 13q deletion and trisomy 12, only 1% of such pts progress to symptomatic CLL per year due to other genetic lesion

47
Q

are nuceloli seen in typical lymphocytes

A

no

seen in SLL

48
Q

age group for CLL

what produced in peripheral smear

A

older pts

blasts in peripheral smear

49
Q

90% ____ positivity/overexpression in follicular lymphoma

translocation?

A

BCL2
-antagonizes apoptosis
t(14;18)

50
Q

extra sites involved in follicular lymphoma

A

peripheral blood involvement prodcue lymphocytosis (usually less than 20,000 cells) in 10%

BM invovlement in 85% of cases and takes form of paratrabecular lymphoid aggregates

splenic white pulp and hepatic portal triads freq involved

white nodules on spleen

51
Q

immunophenotype of follicular lymphoma

A

neoplastic cells resemble normal germinal center b cells
-CD19,20,10, surface Ig, and BCL6
no CD5 expressed
BCL2 in 90% of cases

52
Q

clinical features of follicular lymphoma
