Q

chronic leukemia

A

neoplastic proliferation of mature circulating lymphocytes. insidious onset, can live a long time with the disease. older patient.

23
Q

CLL

A

naive B-cell. CD5, CD20. smudge cells. generalized lymphadenopathy

24
Q

complications of CLL

A

hypogammaglobinemia, autoimmune hemolytic anemia. trasnformation into large B-cell lymphoma

25
Q

hairy cell leukemia

A

mature B cell proliferation. hairy cytoplasmic processes. TRAP positive. splenomegaly (red pulp expansion). LAD absent. cells are TRAPped in to the bone marrow and red pulp.

26
Q

what do we treat leukemia with

A

2-CDA -adenosine deaminase inhibitor

27
Q

ATLL

A

CD4+ t cells. associated with HTLV-1 (japan and Caribbean) presents with rash. LAD and splenomegaly lytic bone lesions with hypercalcemia.

28
Q

lytic bone lesions with a rash

A

ATLL

29
Q

mycosis fungiodes

A

CD4+ T cells. infiltrate the skin, rash, plaques and nodules. aggregates in the epidermis pautier microabscesses

30
Q

sezary syndrome

A

mycosis fungoides of the blood. cerebriform nuclei lymphocytes

31
Q

CML

A

myeloid cells, especially granulocytes. basophils are characteristic. driven by t(9, 22). increased tyrosine kinase activity. imatinib treatment. splenomegaly is common.

32
Q

CML with enlarging spleen

A

accelerated phase. heralds transformation phase.

33
Q

transformation of CML

A

when it transforms into an acute leukemia. can yield AML (2/3), ALL(1/3)

34
Q

how to distinguish CML from leukomoid reaction

A

granulocytes with LAP (-)
increased basophils
look for philadephia chromosome

35
Q

polycythemia vera

A

JAK2 kinase mutation. hyperviscosity. blurry vision and HA. budd-chiari syndrome. itching after bathing. flushing of the face

36
Q

reactive polycythemia

A

lung disease (O2 low, EPO high). renal cell carcinoma (EPO production, normal O2).

37
Q

essential thrombocytopenia

A

platelets. JAK2 kinase mutation. increased risk of bleeding or thrombosis. rarely progresses to fibrosis or leukemia. no significant gout

38
Q

myelofirbosis

A

megakaryocytes. JAK2 kinase mutation. excess PDGF. results in marrow fibrosis.

39
Q

clinical of myelofibrosis

A

splenomegaly, extramedullary hematopoiesis. increased infections, thrombosis and bleeding. leukoerythroblastic smear -release of immature cells into the blood stream.

40
Q

characteristic RBC of myelofibrosis

A

tear drop cells

41
Q

follicular expansion

A

rheumatoid arthritis

42
Q

paracortical expansion of the lymph node

A

viral disease

43
Q

three key lymphoma s

A

follicular, mantle, marginal

44
Q

follicular lymphoma

A

small B cells. CD20. nodules. late adulthood. painless LAD. overexpression of Bcl2

45
Q

what is the BCL2 translocation

A

t(14, 18) BCL translocates from 18 to the Ig heavy chain locus on 14
can progress to diffuse large B cell lymphoma
there are no macrophages present in the germinal center

46
Q

mantle cell lymphoma

A

small b cells CD20+ generalized painless LAD.

expands the region immediately adjacent to the follicle.

47
Q

translocation of mantle cell lymphoma

A

driven by 11, 14. cyclin D1 to the heavy chain locus on 14. from G1-S phase.

48
Q

marginal zone

A

expands the marginal zone CD20+
associated with chronic inflammatory states like sjrogens, hashimotos, h pylori.
MALToma is subtype

49
Q

burkitt lymphoma

A

intermediate B cells. extranodal mass in child or young adult. african form in the jaw. sporadic in the abdomen. 8, 14 C-MYC overexpression promotes cell growth. stary sky

50
Q

diffuse large cell b cell lymphoma

A

large b cells. CD20 that grow in diffuse sheets. most common form of NHL. clinically aggressive. presents in late adulthood.

51
Q

hodgkins lymphoma

A

rare neoplastic cells that secrete cytokines. reed-sternberg cell. CD15/CD30 +
multilobular nucleus. owl-eyed nucleus.

52
Q

reed sternberg cells

A

fever, chills, night sweats due to cytokines. reactive cells and fibrosis is common.

53
Q

subtype of reed-sternberg

A

nodular, lymphocyte-rish, mixed cellular, lymphocyte depleted.

54
Q

most common form of hodgkins

A

nodular sclerosis
enlarging cervical neck or mediastinal. young female. lymphnode divided by broad pink bands of fibrosis. reed-sternberg sits in the big open spaces and are called lacunar cells.
