Q

what other organs can be affected in follicular lymphoma?

A

spleen will show prominent nodules that represent white pulp follicles that are expanded by follicular lymphoma cells (similar pattern seen with SLL, mantle cell and marginal zone lymphoma)

Q

________ is used to stain for follicular lymphoma

A

BCL2 stain:

in reactive follicles, the BCL2 is present in mantle zone cells but NOT in follicular center B cells
in follicular lymphoma, there is strong BCL2 staining in germinal center

A
  • salivary and thyroid gland on top of autoimmune inflammation
17
Q

__________ lymphoma remains localized for long periods of time and often recurs or spreads to other mucosal sites

A

marginal zone lymphoma

18
Q

EBV infection is associated with which lymphoma?

A

Burkitt Lymphoma (African)

19
Q

“starry sky” pattern is seen in ______ and is explained by:

A

Burkitt lymphoma; diffuse infiltrate of medium sized cells with high mitotic rate and apoptosis → many macrophages to clean up dead cells

20
Q

what is the characteristic immunohistochemistry pattern of Burkitt lymphoma

A
  • CD19, CD20, CD10, surface Ig

similar to follicular lymphoma

21
Q

describe the translocation (gene and chromosome) of Burkitt lymphoma

A

t(8,14) > t (2,8) > t (8,22)

c-myc oncogene on chromosome 8 is translocated to either Ig heavy or light chain loci

22
Q

Bukitt lymphomas presents as extra nodal mass at what preferred sites?

A
  • mandible

- abdominal viscera: kidneys, ovaries, adrenal glands

23
Q

who as better prognosis of treating burkitt lymphoma with high dose chemotherapy: kids or adults

A

kids

24
Q

translocation of what gene is seen in Burkitt lymphoma

A

c- myc oncogene

25
Q

middle aged males that present with pancytopenia and splenomegaly is a common presentation of B cell neoplasm?

A

Hairy cell leukemia

26
Q

describe the spleen’s appearance in someone with hairy cell leukemia

A
  • beefy red appearance due to red pulp infiltration
27
Q

what is the characteristic immunophenotype of hairy cell leukemia

A
  • CD20, CD11c, CD25, CD103+
28
Q

TRAP stain is used to visualize what neoplasm?

A

hairy cell leukemia

29
Q

What are plasma cell neoplasms?

A

these are B cell neoplasms with some plasma cell differentiation that secrete monoclonal immunoglobulins

30
Q

what are the findings in the blood and urine in plasma cell neoplasms

A

blood: M component (monoclonal Ig)
urine: Bence Jones proteins (monoclonal light chains of kappa or lambda)

31
Q

what are the bone marrow findings in hairy cell leukemia?

A

fried egg appearance; dry tap (also seen in aplastic anemia)

32
Q

which monoclonal immunoglobulin is secreted by multiple myeloma which is a plasma cell neoplasm

A

IgG

33
Q

presentation of follicular lymphoma

A

waxing and waning of painless lymphadenopathy
