MDS & MPD

QuestionAnswer
Myelodysplastic Syndromes Overview ? * A group of clonal stem cell disorders characterized by maturation defects ---Associated with ineffective hematopoiesis ---High risk of transformation to AML --- can see anemias, infections, and bleeding---- blast count below 20%
MDS Testing ? * CBC – pancytopenia ----Peripheral blood – dysplasia in one or all cell lines ----Bone marrow aspiration & biopsy <20% blasts---- Flow cytometry – confirms absence of AML ----Cytogenetics ...... * nothing in blood can make Dx , need BM biopsy
MDS BM Morphology ? * Erythroid dysplasia - see Ringed sideroblasts..... * Neutrophil dysplasia - Decreased secondary granules (hypogranular)and Pseudo Pelger-Huet cells .... * Megakaryocyte dysplasia - Myeloblasts MUST be less than 20% and NO Auer rods
MDS PB Morphology ? * Pseudo-Pelger-Huet cells ---Hypogranular neutrophils ---Giant platelets ---Macrocytes ---Poikilocytes (schistocytes and spherocytes are NOT seen) ---Relative or absolute monocytosis ---Myeloblasts MUST be <10% of the leukocytes
MDS WHO Classification ? * Refractory cytopenia with unilineage dysplasia (RCUD)-- Refractory anemia, refractory neutropenia, refractory thrombocytopenia <5% of cases .....*Refractory anemia with Ringed Sideroblasts (RARS) --- <5% of cases
continued.... * Refractory cytopenia with multilineage dysplasia (RCMD) -- 70% of cases – in more than 1 cell line .....* Refractory anemia with excess blasts (RAEB) -- 25% of cases – morethan 3, less than 20
continued... * MDS with isolated del(5q) --5% of cases ....*MDS, unclassified -- <5% of cases
Refractory Cytopenia with Unilineage Dysplasia (RCUD) ? * <5% blasts in the BM.... * Dysplasia in >10% of cells in one lineage
Refractory Anemia with Ringed Sideroblasts (RARS) ? * >15% ringed sideroblasts in the bone marrow ---- 10 or more iron-laden mitochondria occupying more than 1/3 of nuclear rim
Refractory Cytopenia with Multilineage Dysplasia (RCMD) ? * Severe dysplasia in two or more cell lines.... * RCMD-RS --> increased ringed sideroblasts in addition to above
Refractory Anemia with Excess Blasts (RAEB) ? * 5-9% = RAEB-I ...... * 10-19% = RAEB-II  shorter survival and increased risk of developing AML ...... * Dysplasia present ..... *NO Auer rods
MDS with Isolated del(5q) ? * 5q- Syndrome, and best prognosis .... * Severe anemia, normal platelet count ..... * RBC transfusions may be necessary .....*BM with micromegakaryocytes (mono or bilobed nuclei), <5% myeloblasts
Myeloproliferative Disorders Overview ? * Group of disorders with increased proliferative drive in BM.... * BM fibrosis and PB cytopenias.... * BM doesn't make enough RBCs bc of fibrosus.... * also see high numbers of one type of cells
MPD Testing ? * CBC – increase in one or more cell lines .... * Peripheral blood – maturation without excess blasts, should not be there ..... * Bone marrow aspiration & biopsy - <20% blasts -- Maturation of involved cell lines
continued.... * Erythropoietin levels - markedly decreased in PV.... * Uric acid – increased due to cell turn-over
Chronic Myeloid Leukemia (CML) ? * synthesis of active BCR-ABL tyrosine kinase --> t(9;22)the Philadelphia Chromosome .... * Sea-blue histiocytes .... * all levels of granulocytic maturation (<5% blasts); nucleated RBCs; increased Bo & Eo; few promyelocytes; giant platelets
Chronic Myeloid Leukemia (CML) clinically ? * splenomegaly - giant spleens ... * indigestion and fatigue ... * high WBC count with low blast count .... * can get ALL or AML
Polycythemia Rubra Vera (PV) ? * mutations in tyrosine kinase JAK2 --> decreased need for erythropoietin in RBC production .... * Increased total blood volume  viscosity with abnormal platelet function --> bleeding and thrombosis .... * Hemoglobin = 14-28 gm/dl *Hematocrit = >60%
Essential Thrombocythemia (ET) ? * activating point mutations in JAK2 or MPL --> decreased need for thrombopoietin.... * megakaryocytes markedly increased ... * Giant platelets .... * Erythromelalgia – throbbing & burning of hands and feet .... * super high platelets and Bleed
Primary Myelofibrosis ? * activating JAK2 or MPL mutations.... * see BM fibrosus, so causes a dry tap on biopsy .... * see Osteosclerosis... * erythroblastosis; tear drop RBCs; giant platelets; increased basophils .... * die in 3 - 4 years

Use these flashcards to help memorize information. Look at the large card and try to recall what is on the other side. Then click the card to flip it. If you knew the answer, click the green Know box. Otherwise, click the red Don't know box.

When you've placed seven or more cards in the Don't know box, click "retry" to try those cards again.

If you've accidentally put the card in the wrong box, just click on the card to take it out of the box.

You can also use your keyboard to move the cards as follows:

If you are logged in to your account, this website will remember which cards you know and don't know so that they are in the same box the next time you log in.

When you need a break, try one of the other activities listed below the flashcards like Matching, Snowman, or Hungry Bug. Although it may feel like you're playing a game, your brain is still making more connections with the information to help you out.

To see how well you know the information, try the Quiz or Test activity.
